[PATCH v4] pwm: tiehrpwm: Enable pwmchip's parent device before setting configuration

From: Gokul Praveen

Date: Wed Jan 21 2026 - 01:12:11 EST


The period and duty cycle configurations on J7200 and J784S4 SoCs
does not get reflected after setting them using sysfs nodes.
This is because at the end of ehrpwm_pwm_config function,
the put_sync function is called which resets the hardware.

Hold the PWM controller out of low-power mode during .apply() to
make sure it accepts the writes to its registers.

This renders the calls to pm_runtime_get_sync() and
pm_runtime_put_sync() in ehrpwm_pwm_config() into no-ops, so
these can be dropped.

Fixes: 5f027d9b83db("pwm: tiehrpwm: Implement .apply() callback")
