pwm: pca9685: Fix PWM/GPIO inter-operation
This driver allows pwms to be requested as gpios via gpiolib. Obviously,
it should not be allowed to request a GPIO when its corresponding PWM is
already requested (and vice versa). So it requires some exclusion code.
Given that the PWMm and GPIO cores are not synchronized with respect to
each other, this exclusion code will also require proper
synchronization.
Such a mechanism was in place, but was inadvertently removed by Uwe's
clean-up in commit e926b12c611c ("pwm: Clear chip_data in pwm_put()").
Upon revisiting the synchronization mechanism, we found that
theoretically, it could allow two threads to successfully request
conflicting PWMs/GPIOs.
Replace with a bitmap which tracks PWMs in-use, plus a mutex. As long as
PWM and GPIO's respective request/free functions modify the in-use
bitmap while holding the mutex, proper synchronization will be
guaranteed.
