Subject: [PATCH 0/3] leds-pwm: Defer PWM calls if PWM can sleep
Message-ID: <1359108114-16998-1-git-send-email-florian.vaussard@epfl.ch>

Hello,

When using the leds-pwm module with external PWM chips connected through
I2C, the kernel will panic when settings a trigger. In this case, PWM
calls can sleep, and should be deferred.

Patch 1 and 2 add the necessary API to the PWM subsystem, and update
matching drivers.

Patch 3 updates leds-pwm to use a worker if the PWM chip can sleep, or performs
direct calls otherwise.

This patchset is based on the for-next branch of the led subsystem [1],
as patch 3 depends on the recent work of Peter for DT bindings in leds-pwm.
The pwm patches should probably follow the same path.

Tested on Overo (OMAP3 + TWL4030) with device tree.

Best regards,

Florian
