Message-ID: <2023042242-unsaved-sanded-d4c1@gregkh> (raw)


The patch below does not apply to the 5.10-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@vger.kernel.org>.

To reproduce the conflict and resubmit, you may use the following commands:

git fetch https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ linux-5.10.y
git checkout FETCH_HEAD
git cherry-pick -x 8caa81eb950cb2e9d2d6959b37d853162d197f57
# <resolve conflicts, build, test, etc.>

Subject: [PATCH] pwm: meson: Explicitly set .polarity in .get_state()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

The driver only supports normal polarity. Complete the implementation of
.get_state() by setting .polarity accordingly.

This fixes a regression that was possible since commit c73a3107624d
("pwm: Handle .get_state() failures") which stopped to zero-initialize
the state passed to the .get_state() callback. This was reported at
https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=46360 . While this was an
unintended side effect, the real issue is the driver's callback not
setting the polarity.

There is a complicating fact, that the .apply() callback fakes support
for inversed polarity. This is not (and cannot) be matched by
.get_state(). As fixing this isn't easy, only point it out in a comment
to prevent authors of other drivers from copying that approach.
