While consistency is fine I agree that this patch is already big and letting it do the things similar to other stuff in this driver is ok. > > > > Consider the following request: state->period =3D 4177921 [ns] + > > > > state->duty_cycle =3D 100000 [ns], then we get > > > > PRESCALE =3D round(25 * state->period / 4096000) - 1 =3D 25 and so = an actual > > > > period of 4096000 / 25 * (25 + 1) =3D 4259840 [ns].

So to argue already for the future: I value consistency among the various pwm lowlevel drivers higher than what an individual hardware engineer happened to write in a data sheet. That engineer was successful in describing the functionality of the chip and that's where her/his job ends. How a driver should behave is to be decided by us. > I once measured the actual frequency and the internal oscillator is not > very accurate, so even if you think you should get 196.88 Hz, the actual > frequency measured with a decent scope is about 206 Hz and varies from > chip to chip (~=A0205-207 Hz). Huh. Did you do further measurements that suggest that the oscillator doesn't run at 25 MHz but maybe at 26 MHz (which would yield 204.7552 Hz)? (Assume this is true, what do you think: Should be use the formula that matches reality, or should we stick to the formula defined in the data sheet?) =20 Best regards Uwe --=20 Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-K=F6nig | Industrial Linux Solutions | https://www.pengutronix.de/ | --4ttooeqacrohtzhf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEfnIqFpAYrP8+dKQLwfwUeK3K7AkFAmB18yYACgkQwfwUeK3K 7AlZtQf/dpKKWaEi2dVgMtedbzwCCGkr6zzvO9pydXc8m9t6W19n2jq0BiYtDaoZ ZWTP9sq1S8N8EkoRm1gKF99ZXlzo+Z/7wFa99F2tEB/go/2oWAnVwSvYyyCUKxtv ZkeqBYrciJOCdH1fD9fgm+rucUOjklMLJ1Betx9h7Nizx90ecNH+39ezXkX0JDVW QULrqiQWqXIb981QvhlxOt2x2sxMr9PmqvraSkY4vK/1vQgKiw5eQaLjfjx/p847 Sm7IQMxwTG+QHfpdIFnS8gtQRvg+gUUR8Vrx7RMQ7IHkFtRlf+lVMU/oM0Joy8cc 22XVndQuXAuI1k1U4cgxyjN8N+26Ow== =gQNC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4ttooeqacrohtzhf--
