Optionally, the pwm-specifier can encode a number of flags (defined in
<dt-bindings/pwm/pwm.h>) in a third cell:
- PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED: invert the PWM signal polarity
+- PWM_USAGE_POWER: Only care about the power output of the signal. This
+ allows drivers (if supported) to optimize the signals, for example to
+ improve EMI and reduce current spikes.
Example with optional PWM specifier for inverse polarity
