[PATCH v9 4/7] pwm: ntxec: Add driver for PWM function in Netronix EC

The Netronix EC provides a PWM output which is used for the backlight
on some ebook readers. This patches adds a driver for the PWM output.

The .get_state callback is not implemented, because the PWM state can't
be read back from the hardware.

v9:
- Add Thierry Reding's A-b tag

v8:
- https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210116194826.3866540-5-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net/
- Add Uwe Kleine-König's R-b tag
- Copy dev.of_node from parent device

v7:
- no changes

v6:
- Move period / duty cycle setting code to a function
- Rename pwmchip_to_priv to ntxec_pwm_from_chip
- Set period and duty cycle only before enabling the output
- Mention that duty=0, enable=1 is assumed not to happen
- Interleave writes to the period and duty cycle registers, to minimize the
window of time that an inconsistent state is configured

v5:
- Avoid truncation of period and duty cycle to 32 bits
- Make ntxec_pwm_ops const
- Use regmap_multi_reg_write
- Add comment about get_state to ntxec_pwm_ops
- Add comments about non-atomicity of (period, duty cycle) update

v4:
- Document hardware/driver limitations
- Only accept normal polarity
- Fix a typo ("zone" -> "zero")
- change MAX_PERIOD_NS to 0xffff * 125
- Clamp period to the maximum rather than returning an error
- Rename private struct pointer to priv
- Rearrage control flow in _probe to save a few lines and a temporary variable
- Add missing MODULE_ALIAS line
- Spell out ODM

v3:
- Relicense as GPLv2 or later
- Add email address to copyright line
- Remove OF compatible string and don't include linux/of_device.h
- Fix bogus ?: in return line
- Don't use a comma after sentinels
- Avoid ret |= ... pattern
- Move 8-bit register conversion to ntxec.h

v2:
- Various grammar and style improvements, as suggested by Uwe Kleine-König,
Lee Jones, and Alexandre Belloni
- Switch to regmap
- Prefix registers with NTXEC_REG_
- Add help text to the Kconfig option
- Use the .apply callback instead of the old API
- Add a #define for the time base (125ns)
- Don't change device state in .probe; this avoids multiple problems
- Rework division and overflow check logic to perform divisions in 32 bits
- Avoid setting duty cycle to zero, to work around a hardware quirk
