Hi Lukasz,

Has my concern addressed in any way with this resend?
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/22/729

Breaking hardware is usually not an option :-)

I checked the i.MX 7 reference manual again, and in this case the
peripheral access clock is a clock line named "ipg_clk_s" (Table 12-20),
with a clock root "PWM1_CLK_ROOT" (Table 5-12). In i.MX 7 all clocks are
behind a single gate, so in fact it does not matter which clock we take.
Given that others have peripheral access behind the "pwm" gate, I guess
we should take the "pwm" gate...
