Did you get that right? I would have expected a fixed period and the
parameter modifying the duty cycle?

I actually found a fixed 30 kHz period PWM at the underside of the 
device, it wasn't easy to reach. Expect a V3.

[PATCH v2 3/3] pwm: argon-fan-hat: Add Argon40 Fan HAT support

[Marek Vasut]

Add trivial PWM driver for Argon40 Fan HAT, which is a RaspberryPi
blower fan hat which can be controlled over I2C. Model this device
as a PWM, so the pwm-fan can be attached to it and handle thermal
zones and RPM management in a generic manner.

    - Add shutdown hook to force the fan to maximum RPM on shutdown
      instead of stopping it, to be on the safe side

How extraordinary, so the relative duty cycle is always 10%? In the
binding patch you claimed duty cycle was constant?

Please enable PWM_DEBUG while testing.

Please add a comment about why there is no .read_waveform().

This is argon_fan_hat_write_waveform(..., _wfhw=100). Looks like an
opportunity to consolidate these functions.

I actually found a fixed 30 kHz period PWM at the underside of the 
device, with configurable duty cycle, so this will be fixed in V3.

The rest should be fixed in V3, thanks.
