Merge branch 'for-3.6' of git://gitorious.org/linux-pwm/linux-pwm
Pull PWM subsystem from Thierry Reding: "The new PWM subsystem aims at collecting all implementations of the legacy PWM API and to eventually replace it completely. The subsystem has been in development for over half a year now and many drivers have already been converted. It has been in linux-next for a couple of weeks and there have been no major issues so I think it is ready for inclusion in your tree." Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>: "Very much Ack on the new subsystem. It uses the interface declarations as the previously separate pwm drivers, so nothing changes for now in the drivers using it, although it enables us to change those more easily in the future if we want to. This work is also one of the missing pieces that are required to eventually build ARM kernels for multiple platforms, which is currently prohibited (amongs other things) by the fact that you cannot have more than one driver exporting the pwm functions."

+Specifying PWM information for devices
+======================================
+
+1) PWM user nodes
+-----------------
+
+PWM users should specify a list of PWM devices that they want to use
+with a property containing a 'pwm-list':
+
+ pwm-list ::= <single-pwm> [pwm-list]
+ single-pwm ::= <pwm-phandle> <pwm-specifier>
+ pwm-phandle : phandle to PWM controller node
+ pwm-specifier : array of #pwm-cells specifying the given PWM
+ (controller specific)
+
+PWM properties should be named "pwms". The exact meaning of each pwms
+property must be documented in the device tree binding for each device.
+An optional property "pwm-names" may contain a list of strings to label
+each of the PWM devices listed in the "pwms" property. If no "pwm-names"
+property is given, the name of the user node will be used as fallback.
+
+Drivers for devices that use more than a single PWM device can use the
+"pwm-names" property to map the name of the PWM device requested by the
+pwm_get() call to an index into the list given by the "pwms" property.
+
+The following example could be used to describe a PWM-based backlight
+device:
+
+ pwm: pwm {
+ #pwm-cells = <2>;
+ };
+
+ [...]
+
+ bl: backlight {
+ pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>;
+ pwm-names = "backlight";
+ };
+
+pwm-specifier typically encodes the chip-relative PWM number and the PWM
+period in nanoseconds. Note that in the example above, specifying the
+"pwm-names" is redundant because the name "backlight" would be used as
+fallback anyway.
+
+2) PWM controller nodes
+-----------------------
+
+PWM controller nodes must specify the number of cells used for the
+specifier using the '#pwm-cells' property.
+
+An example PWM controller might look like this:
+
+ pwm: pwm@7000a000 {
+ compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-pwm";
+ reg = <0x7000a000 0x100>;
+ #pwm-cells = <2>;
+ };

+pwm-backlight bindings
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: "pwm-backlight"
+ - pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding[0])
+ - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. Typically these
+ are in the range from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do.
+ The actual brightness level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated
+ from these values. 0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the
+ last value in the array represents a 100% duty cycle (brightest).
+ - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (index into the
+ array defined by the "brightness-levels" property)
+
+Optional properties:
+ - pwm-names: a list of names for the PWM devices specified in the
+ "pwms" property (see PWM binding[0])
+
+[0]: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm.txt
+
+Example:
+
+ backlight {
+ compatible = "pwm-backlight";
+ pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>;
+
+ brightness-levels = <0 4 8 16 32 64 128 255>;
+ default-brightness-level = <6>;
+ };
