A constant inactive state? Yes, a constant inactive state is expected. This is consistent and in a similar way when using duty == period an constant active output is expected. > Then I guess I can just disable the PWM output in the driver when > configured with duty == 0. Some time ago I argued with Thierry that we could drop the concept of enabled/disabled for a PWM because a disabled PWM is supposed to behave identically to duty=0. This is however only nearly true because with duty=0 the time the PWM is inactive still is a multiple of the period. I tend to agree that disabling the PWM when duty=0 is requested is better than to fail the request (or configure for duty=1 $whateverunit). I'm looking forward to what Thierry's opinion is here. > > > If you request duty == 1 (the minimum), then the new duty is equal > > > to (period - 1 + 1) == period, which is the maximum of your range. > > > > > > If you request duty == period (the maximum), then the new duty > > > calculated is equal to (period - period + 1) == 1, which is the > > > minimum of your range. Note that the wrong border (because duty=0 is impossible for your hardware) shifts the whole space. The right inverse of duty = period - 1 is duty = 1, isn't it? > > > > > Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil > > > > > --- > > > > > drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c | 22 +++++++++++++--------- > > > > > 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) > > > > > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c b/drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c > > > > > index 85e2110aae4f..8df898429d47 100644 > > > > > --- a/drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c > > > > > +++ b/drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c > > > > > @@ -121,6 +121,7 @@ static int jz4740_pwm_apply(struct pwm_chip *chip, struct pwm_device *pwm, > > > > > *parent_clk = clk_get_parent(clk); > > > > > unsigned long rate, parent_rate, period, duty; > > > > > unsigned long long tmp; > > > > > + bool polarity_inversed; > > > > > int ret; > > > > > > > > > > parent_rate = clk_get_rate(parent_clk); > > > > > @@ -183,24 +184,27 @@ static int jz4740_pwm_apply(struct pwm_chip > > > > > *chip, struct pwm_device *pwm, > > > > > /* Reset counter to 0 */ > > > > > regmap_write(jz4740->map, TCU_REG_TCNTc(pwm->hwpwm), 0); > > > > > > > > > > - /* Set duty */ > > > > > - regmap_write(jz4740->map, TCU_REG_TDHRc(pwm->hwpwm), duty); > > > > > - > > > > > /* Set period */ > > > > > regmap_write(jz4740->map, TCU_REG_TDFRc(pwm->hwpwm), period); > > > > > > > > > > + /* > > > > > + * The PWM will always start with the inactive part.

The PWM is disabled when reconfigured. Then please mention it in the commit log. Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |
