Okay, that's fine, I'll drop them again.

During my build tests I ran into a small issue caused by this series
interacting with the conversion of period and duty-cycle to u64 that
I've queued for v5.9. This causes a build failure on x86.

I have this local diff to fix that:

So perhaps you want to integrate that or something equivalent into your
series.

Also this could result in a tricky dependency between PWM and drm-misc,
although if you're targetting drm-misc it's too late for v5.9 anyway. In
that case you should be able to rebase your series on v5.9-rc1 when it's
out and then you'll get the prerequisite PWM changes for the u64
conversion as part of that. No need to track the dependency explicitly.
