[PATCH 1/3] pwm-sun4i: convert "next_period" to local variable

[PATCH 1/3] pwm-sun4i: convert "next_period" to local variable

[Max Kellermann]

Its value is calculated in sun4i_pwm_apply() and is used only there.

[PATCH 2/3] pwm-sun4i: calculate "delay_jiffies" directly, eliminate absolute time

[Max Kellermann]

Basically this code did "jiffies + period - jiffies", and we can
simply eliminate the "jiffies" time stamp here.

I don't see how this is relevant for stable, but the change looks fine:

[PATCH 3/3] pwm-sun4i: calculate the delay without rounding down to jiffies

[Max Kellermann]

This fixes a problem that was supposed to be addressed by commit
6eefb79d6f5bc ("pwm: sun4i: Remove erroneous else branch") - backlight
could not be switched off on some Allwinner A20.  The commit was
correct, but was not a reliable fix for the problem, which was timing
related.

The real problem for the backlight switching problem was that sleeping
for a full period did not work, because delay_us is always zero.

It is zero because the period (plus 1 microsecond) is rounded down to
the next "jiffies", but the period is less than one jiffy.

On my Cubieboard 2, the period is 5ms, and 1 jiffy (at the default
HZ=100) is 10ms, so nsecs_to_jiffies(10ms+1us)=0.

The roundtrip from nanoseconds to jiffies and back to microseconds is
an unnecessary loss of precision; always rounding down (via
nsecs_to_jiffies()) then causes the breakage.

This patch eliminates this roundtrip, and directly converts from
nanoseconds to microseconds (for usleep_range()), using
DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL() to force rounding up.  This way, the sleep time is
never zero, and after the sleep, we are guaranteed to be in a
different period, and the device is ready for another control command
for sure.

I think I'd drop this. This isn't a fix worth on it's own to be
backported and if this is needed for one of the next patches, the stable
maintainers will notice themselves (and it might be worth to shuffle
this series to make the fixes come first).

The first two patches are preparation for the third patch, which fixes
the actual bug.

Of course, I could have done everything in one patch, but I thought
splitting the first two out makes review easier.  This way, every step
is almost trivial.

If you want me to fold the three patches into one, I can do that.  But
I can't reorder them (or backport only the bug fix to stable).

That sounds fine. Note my statement "I'd drop this" only refers to the
