[PATCH] pwm: tiehrpwm: Clear period on disable to allow reconfiguration
From: A. Sverdlin
Date: Tue Sep 29 2026 - 08:10:53 EST
From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Both channels share one period register, so ehrpwm_pwm_config() rejects a
period differing from the sibling's period_cycles[]. That value was cleared
only in .free(), not in .disable(), so a stopped channel kept blocking the
sibling from switching to a new frequency. Clear it in .disable() too.
Testcase:
cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0; echo 0 > export; echo 1 > export
for p in pwm0 pwm1; do
echo 1000000 > $p/period; echo 500000 > $p/duty_cycle
echo 1 > $p/enable; echo 0 > $p/enable; echo 2000000 > $p/period
done
echo 1 > pwm0/enable # before: -EINVAL, after: succeeds
