Re: [PATCH v2] pwm: tiehrpwm: Enable EHRPWM controller before setting configuration

Hello,

adding Rafael to Cc: who sent a patch series for this driver that I
didn't come around to review yet. Given that neither he nor me noticed
the problem addressed in this patch I wonder if it applies to all
hardware variants.

With this function also caring for *state the name isn't appropriate any
more.

Why are the changes from the two hunks above needed? Reading the change
log I only understand the first hunk and would expect it to be enough.
