This patchset adds support for the PWM controller found on the
Raspberry Pi RP1 southbridge. This is necessary to operate the
cooling fan connected to one of the PWM channels.

The tachometer pin for the fan speed is managed by the firmware
running on the RP1's M-core. It uses the PHASE2 register
to report the RPM, which is then exported by this driver via
syscon registers. A subsequent patch will add a new device
and driver to read the RPM and export this value via hwmon.
Subsequent patches will also add the CPU thermal zone, which
acts as a consumer of the PWM device.

Best regards,
Andrea

Uwe, how do we go about applying these patches? Do you want to take patch #2 and I take patches #1 and #3 through the Broadcom ARM SoC tree(s)?
