The only driver that was supporting inverting it using platform_data is pwm-renesas-tpu. It is used by board-armadillo800eva.c that I am modifying now (and I just now realise that I forgot to invert it). The only PWM controller that I know of that by default has its polarity inversed is the allwinner one and in the driver I submitted, I actually switch it to normal polarity in the probe instead of e.g. doing pwm->polarity = PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED; For the period, all the driver are assuming 0 after initialization. I think this is not specified. If you think that may be a concern then I suggest creating another macro and using a bitfield to know which value is set. I would also argue that when using device tree, of_pwm_xlate_with_flags() will set the period and the polarity unconditionally, this is replicating that behaviour. However, I could agree that we may need to test for pwm->chip->ops->set_polarity before calling pwm_set_polarity as we will get an error if it is NULL (but we actually discard that return value). -- Alexandre Belloni, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
