The "atomic" API allows us to configure PWM period and duty_cycle and
enable it in one call.

The patch also moves the pwm_init_state just before any use of the
pwm_state struct, this fixes a potential bug where pwm_get_state
can be called before pwm_init_state.

Signed-off-by: Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com>

Changes in v2:
- Do not force the PWM be off in the first call to pwm_apply_state.
- Delayed applying the state until we know what the period is.
- Removed pb->period as after the conversion is not needed.

Re-reading this I have spotted a couple of things I probably could have
mentioned against v1... sorry.

I think it's looking good though, I expect to be able to ack v3.

This is an in exact conversion because this code ignores a failure to
set the duty cycle to zero whilst pwm_apply_state() does not.

This would only matter if pwm_config() returns an error and given that a
PWM which does not support a duty cycle of zero is permitted to adjust
zero to the smallest supported value there is no *need* for a driver to
return an error here. In other words... this is a subtle change of
behaviour and perhaps (even probably) irrelevant.

However I'm still interested whether you did any work to confirm or
deny whether drivers that reports error on zero duty cycle actually
exist.

In principle the same subtle change applies here... but if pwm_config()
reported an error here then the backlight probably didn't work before
your change either so less need to worry about it!

It verges towards nit picking but I don't really like the way a half updated
state is shared between ...update_status and ...power_on.

I'd rather it looked something like:

		pwm_get_state(pb->pwm, &state);
		if (!state.enabled) {
			pwm_backlight_power_on(pb);  <-- no sharing here,
			                                 make on match off
		} else {
			pwm_backlight_update_duty_cycle(pb, &state, brightness);
			pwm_apply_state(pb->pwm, &state);
		}
	
(and have pwm_backlight_power_on() also call ...update_duty_cycle too)

Thoughts?


Daniel.

Interesting, actually I don't have a use case for this, and I think that there
is nothing in the kernel. I know that some devices (like chromebook minnie and
jaq) the pwm must be >= 1% or 3% for the first non-zero value but I don't know
any where 0 is a problem.

What about something like this:

static int pwm_backlight_update_status(struct backlight_device *bl)
{
        ...

	if (brightness > 0) {
		pwm_get_state(pb->pwm, &state);
                /* we can get rid of duty_cycle temporal variable */
		state.duty_cycle = compute_duty_cycle(pb, brightness);
		pwm_apply_state(pb->pwm, &state);
		pwm_backlight_power_on(pb);
	} else
		pwm_backlight_power_off(pb);
        ...
}

static void pwm_backlight_power_on(struct pwm_bl_data *pb)
{
	struct pwm_state state;

	pwm_get_state(pb->pwm, &state);

	if (state.enabled)
		return;

        ...

	state.enabled = true;
	pwm_apply_state(pb->pwm, &state);

        ...
}

static void pwm_backlight_power_off(struct pwm_bl_data *pb)
{
	struct pwm_state state;

        ...

	pwm_get_state(pb->pwm, &state);
	state.enabled = false;
	state.duty_cycle = 0;
	pwm_apply_state(pb->pwm, &state);

        ...
}

And I think that we can get rid of pb->enabled variable.

Best regards,
 Enric

This reads very well. I'm happy to go with this approach.
