[PATCH v2 0/3] pwm: lpc32xx: Add support to control PWM_PIN_LEVEL bit

[Sylvain Lemieux]

From: Sylvain Lemieux <slemieux@tycoint.com>

The PWM_PIN_LEVEL bit is leave unset by the kernel PWM driver.

Prior to commit 08ee77b5a5de27ad63c92262ebcb4efe0da93b58,
the PWM_PIN_LEVEL bit was always clear when the PWM was disable
and a 0 logic level was apply to the output.

According to the LPC32x0 User Manual [1],
the default value for bit 30 (PWM_PIN_LEVEL) is 0.

First patch:
* initialize the pin level to 0 (default value) and update
  the register value accordingly.

Second anf third patches:
*  provide support to configure the pin output (i.e. PWM_PIN_LEVEL bit)
   when the PWM is disabled.

[PATCH v2 2/3] pwm: lpc32xx: Add support for PWM_PIN_LEVEL bit configuration

[Sylvain Lemieux]

From: Sylvain Lemieux <slemieux@tycoint.com>

Provide support to configure the pin output
(i.e. PWM_PIN_LEVEL bit) when the PWM is disabled.

Note:
When the LPC32xx PWM is disabled, both options of pin
output high and low level values are valid; however this
particular controller does not have polarity control.

Refer to the LPC32x0 User Manual [1], for details.

[PATCH v2 3/3] dt-bindings: pwm: lpc32xx: Add nxp,pwm-disabled-level-high property

[Sylvain Lemieux]

From: Sylvain Lemieux <slemieux@tycoint.com>

Document the nxp,pwm-disabled-level-high property used by the
pwm-lpc32xx driver to setup the pin output level to high when
the PWM is disabled.

The driver setup the pin output level to the reset value
by default.

a short question, how do you use PWM? Does it serve as a backlight
or something else?

The PWM is used to control the LCD backlight intensity.

When we setup the backlight brightness level to 0, 
it should turn off the LCD display by disabling the PWM.

This is what was added to our board dts for it:
	backlight {
		compatible = "pwm-backlight";
		pwms = <&pwm1 0 1250000>;

		brightness-levels = <0 20 100>;
		default-brightness-level = <2>;
	};

this is good that there is a consumer and we are not talking in
general, then it might be more visual that the new property probably
is not needed due to the lack of use cases.

I think that we should start from something as simple as one-time
setting of PWMx_PIN_LEVEL to default 0 in lpc32xx_pwm_probe() and then
implement a proper support of boundary values as suggested in discussion
of v1 series.

Can you take the patch 1 of this series? This resolved an issue with 
the LPC32xx PWM when use to control the LCD backlight brightness level.

As suggested, we can later discuss the best way to 
implement proper support of boundary values.
