Subject: [PATCH 3/3] pwm-sun4i: calculate the delay without rounding down to jiffies
Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2022 13:34:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220125123429.3490883-3-max.kellermann@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220125123429.3490883-1-max.kellermann@gmail.com>
This fixes a problem that was supposed to be addressed by commit
6eefb79d6f5bc ("pwm: sun4i: Remove erroneous else branch") - backlight
could not be switched off on some Allwinner A20. The commit was
correct, but was not a reliable fix for the problem, which was timing
related.
The real problem for the backlight switching problem was that sleeping
for a full period did not work, because delay_us is always zero.
It is zero because the period (plus 1 microsecond) is rounded down to
the next "jiffies", but the period is less than one jiffy.
On my Cubieboard 2, the period is 5ms, and 1 jiffy (at the default
HZ=100) is 10ms, so nsecs_to_jiffies(10ms+1us)=0.
The roundtrip from nanoseconds to jiffies and back to microseconds is
an unnecessary loss of precision; always rounding down (via
nsecs_to_jiffies()) then causes the breakage.
This patch eliminates this roundtrip, and directly converts from
nanoseconds to microseconds (for usleep_range()), using
DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL() to force rounding up. This way, the sleep time is
never zero, and after the sleep, we are guaranteed to be in a
different period, and the device is ready for another control command
for sure.
