This means that it's impossible to have multiple PWM drivers in the system. For this reason it's mandatory for new drivers to use the generic PWM framework. -A new PWM device can be added using pwmchip_add() and removed again with -pwmchip_remove(). pwmchip_add() takes a filled in struct pwm_chip as -argument which provides the ops and the pwm id to the framework. + +A new PWM controller/chip can be added using pwmchip_add() and removed +again with pwmchip_remove(). pwmchip_add() takes a filled in struct +pwm_chip as argument which provides a description of the PWM chip, the +number of PWM devices provider by the chip and the chip-specific +implementation of the supported PWM operations to the framework.
