Merge tag 'for-3.7-rc1' of git://gitorious.org/linux-pwm/linux-pwm
Pull pwm changes from Thierry Reding: "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." * tag 'for-3.7-rc1' of git://gitorious.org/linux-pwm/linux-pwm: (23 commits) pwm: dt: Fix description of second PWM cell pwm: Check for negative duty-cycle and period pwm: Add Ingenic JZ4740 support MIPS: JZ4740: Export timer API pwm: Move PUV3 PWM driver to PWM framework unicore32: pwm: Use managed resource allocations unicore32: pwm: Remove unnecessary indirection unicore32: pwm: Use module_platform_driver() unicore32: pwm: Properly remap memory-mapped registers pwm-backlight: Use devm_pwm_get() instead of pwm_get() pwm: Move AB8500 PWM driver to PWM framework pwm: Fix compilation error when CONFIG_PWM is not defined pwm: i.MX: fix clock lookup pwm: i.MX: use per clock unconditionally pwm: i.MX: add devicetree support pwm: i.MX: Use module_platform_driver pwm: i.MX: add functions to enable/disable pwm. pwm: i.MX: remove unnecessary if in pwm_[en|dis]able pwm: i.MX: factor out SoC specific functions pwm: pwm-tiehrpwm: Add support for configuring polarity of PWM ...
