All legacy PWM providers have now been moved to the PWM subsystem. The
plan for 3.8 is to adapt all board files to provide a lookup table for
PWM devices in order to get rid of the global namespace. Subsequently,
users of the legacy pwm_request() and pwm_free() functions can be
migrated to the new pwm_get() and pwm_put() functions. Once this has
been completed, the legacy API and the compatibility code in the core
can be removed.
In addition to the above, these changes also add support for configuring
the polarity of a PWM signal (currently only supported on ECAP and
EHRPWM) and include a much needed rework of the i.MX driver. Managed
functions to obtain and release a PWM device (devm_pwm_get() and
devm_pwm_put()) have been added and the pwm-backlight driver has been
updated to use them. If the PWM subsystem hasn't been enabled, dummy
functions are provided that allow the subsystem to safely compile out.
Some common checks on input parameters have been moved to the core and
removed from the drivers. Finally, a small fix corrects the description
of the PWM specifier's second cell in the device tree representation.
