Merge tag 'pwm/for-5.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thierry.reding/linux-pwm
Pull pwm updates from Thierry Reding: "This adds support for the PWM controller found on Toshiba Visconti SoCs and converts a couple of drivers to the atomic API. There's also a bunch of cleanups and minor fixes across the board" * tag 'pwm/for-5.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thierry.reding/linux-pwm: (35 commits) pwm: Reword docs about pwm_apply_state() pwm: atmel: Improve duty cycle calculation in .apply() pwm: atmel: Fix duty cycle calculation in .get_state() pwm: visconti: Add Toshiba Visconti SoC PWM support dt-bindings: pwm: Add bindings for Toshiba Visconti PWM Controller arm64: dts: rockchip: Remove clock-names from PWM nodes ARM: dts: rockchip: Remove clock-names from PWM nodes dt-bindings: pwm: rockchip: Add more compatible strings dt-bindings: pwm: Convert pwm-rockchip.txt to YAML pwm: mediatek: Remove unused function pwm: pca9685: Improve runtime PM behavior pwm: pca9685: Support hardware readout pwm: pca9685: Switch to atomic API pwm: lpss: Don't modify HW state in .remove callback pwm: sti: Free resources only after pwmchip_remove() pwm: sti: Don't modify HW state in .remove callback pwm: lpc3200: Don't modify HW state in .remove callback pwm: lpc18xx-sct: Free resources only after pwmchip_remove() pwm: bcm-kona: Don't modify HW state in .remove callback pwm: bcm2835: Free resources only after pwmchip_remove() ...

+The PWM user API also allows one to query the PWM state that was passed to the
+last invocation of pwm_apply_state() using pwm_get_state(). Note this is
+different to what the driver has actually implemented if the request cannot be
+satisfied exactly with the hardware in use. There is currently no way for
+consumers to get the actually implemented settings.
In addition to the PWM state, the PWM API also exposes PWM arguments, which
are the reference PWM config one should use on this PWM.
