Generally speaking I think applying the states are the right way to go. Ideally the PWM core could simply resume all of the PWM channels that a device exports and the ->apply() callback would be enough to restore that. I'm not sure if that's going to work with current implementations, though. Your pwm-atmel-hlcdc patch certainly indicates that we're not quite there yet. On the other hand, I'm beginning to think that maybe PWMs are too low- level for this kind of suspend/resume. For example if you use the PWM to control a backlight brightness, restoring it via the driver core's resume hook is potentially going to turn it back on at the wrong time. I have a feeling that we might be better off just pushing this up to the PWM users. A slight special case might be sysfs, for which no external user driver exists. But we already have separate data structures to keep track of sysfs-related context, so suspend/resume support could be added there. Any thoughts on that?
