Re: [PATCH 1/2] pwm: sifive: Add DT documentation for SiFive PWM Controller

["Uwe Kleine-König" <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>]

Hello,

this is v3, right? It is helpful to point this out to ease reviewing.

Not sure what was updated here. But assuming this is compared to v2 this
is not a helpful info in the commit log.

While the description was too verbose in v2, this is too short. You
should at least mention something like "sifive,pwmX" and
"sifive,$cpuname-pwm" (or how ever that scheme works).

I'd drop these two lines and refer to bindings/pwm/pwm.txt instead.

As already said for v2: I'd drop "approx-".
