Subject: [PATCH v1] pwm: microchip-core: fix incorrect comparison with max period
Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2025 14:42:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250122-pastor-fancied-0b993da2d2d2@spud> (raw)

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

In mchp_core_pwm_apply_locked(), if hw_period_steps is equal to its max,
an error is reported and .apply fails. The max value is actually a
permitted value however, and so this check can fail where multiple
channels are enabled.

For example, the first channel to be configured requests a period that
sets hw_period_steps to the maximum value, and when a second channel
is enabled the driver reads hw_period_steps back from the hardware and
finds it to be the maximum possible value, triggering the warning on a
permitted value. The value to be avoided is 255 (PERIOD_STEPS_MAX + 1),
as that will produce undesired behaviour, so test for greater than,
rather than equal to.

Fixes: 2bf7ecf7b4ff ("pwm: add microchip soft ip corePWM driver")
