Sorry for taking so long to reply to this, I had completely forgotten.

There should be a description about this driver in the commit message.
The above reads like a changelog since earlier versions of this patch,
in which case it should go below a --- separator line, like so:

	Commit message goes here...
	...

	Signed-off-by: Bart Tanghe <bart.tanghe@thomasmore.be>
	---
	Changes in v3:
	- add some better error handling
	- add device tree support

I assume that "device table" was meant to be "device tree"? Also it
might be useful to mention Raspberry Pi in the commit message.

I think this ought to be "BCM2835". Again, maybe this should mention the
Raspberry Pi so that when people search for it they get a match on this
document.

According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.txt this
should be "brcm,...". Also I'd suggest putting the SoC first, followed
by the hardware block name:

	"brcm,bcm2835-pwm"

I think other BCM2835 device tree bindings use lower-case for addresses,
so you might want to follow that for consistency. Also unit-addresses
are always in hexadecimal and shouldn't take a 0x prefix, so the above
would become:

	pwm@2020c000 {
		...
	};

I think the correct capitalization would be "Raspberry Pi".

How many can it take? Why haven't all been implemented?

s/pwm/PWM/ in prose. Why this restriction? Doesn't it work with higher
frequencies? Perhaps this shouldn't be a comment in the Kconfig entry
but rather a runtime check (and error message)?

Just drop these two lines, they don't provide very useful information.

s/mmio/MMIO/, s/regiser/register/. Also spaces after /* and before */.

CHANNEL doesn't seem to be used.

I prefer lowercase for hexadecimals. And there's no need to repeat all
the leading zeroes. PWM_ENABLE and PWM_POLARITY seem to be bits, so I'd
prefer:

	#define PWM_ENABLE (1 << 0)
	#define PWM_POLARITY (1 << 4)

What does this value mean? Also even if this register is at offset 0 you
should still add a symbolic name for it.

These are only used once, so you don't have to #define them. Use them in
the MODULE_*() macros directly.

Also, perhaps a better and more generic description would be:

	"Broadcom BCM2835 (Raspberry Pi) PWM driver"

And perhaps even drop "(Raspberry Pi)" since presumably the driver will
work on any BCM2835-based board.

This field seems to be unused.

Perhaps this should be unsigned long instead of int?

Calling this something like "base" or "regs" will save a lot of
characters when accessing registers.

The preferred way to write the above is:

	static inline struct bcm2835_pwm_chip *
	to_bcm2835_pwm_chip(struct pwm_chip *chip)
	{
		...
	}

Perhaps if you make names a little shorter you can even get away without
wrapping it:

static inline struct bcm2835_pwm *to_bcm2835_pwm(struct pwm_chip *chip)
{
	...
}

> +static int bcm2835_pwm_config(struct pwm_chip *chip,

The pwm argument still fits on the first line. Also the opening brace
({) should go on a separate line.

This should use the to_bcm2835_pwm() function defined earlier.

These should use writel() instead of iowrite32() and there need to be
spaces around '/'.

Same as above.

Should use to_bcm2835_pwm() and can go on a single line:

	struct bcm2835_pwm *pc = to_bcm2835_pwm(chip);

> +
> +	iowrite32(ioread32(pc->mmio_base) | PWM_ENABLE, pc->mmio_base);

Please break this up into:

	u32 value;
	...
	value = readl(pc->mmio_base + ...);
	value |= PWM_ENABLE;
	writel(value, pc->mmio_base + ...);

The above can go on a single line.

Same as above and below.

Gratuitous blank line.

start and end don't seem to be used.

No need for this error message.

devm_clk_get()? Also, don't you want to keep a reference to the clock in
struct bcm2835_pwm so that you can disable the clock on driver removal?

In text I prefer to use "clock" rather than "clk".

No need for this. The point of the devm_*() functions is that you don't
have to manually clean up the resources that they manage.

> +		return PTR_ERR(clk);

There's NSEC_PER_SEC and you shouldn't cast this if you change the type
of scaler to unsigned long. So this becomes:

	pwm->scaler = NSEC_PER_SEC / clk_get_rate(clk);

Again, no need to free the memory here.

The Kconfig entry says that only a single PWM is implemented, so this
should be 1, shouldn't it?

Drop this.

This needs to propagate ret.

Spaces after /* and before */.

Should this perhaps be delayed until the PWM is requested? What are the
consequences of configuring the PWM?

Also split this up into an explicit read/modify/write sequence please.

I notice that you never prepare or enable the clock here. Perhaps this
isn't required because it's always on, but I think you should still call
clk_prepare_enable() here (and clk_disable_unprepare() in .remove()) to
make sure the driver is more portable.

The above can go on a single line.

There's no need for this check.

No need to initialize .owner here. module_platform_driver() will do that
for you.

A more natural ordering would be:

	MODULE_DESCRIPTION(...);
	MODULE_LICENSE(...);
