pwm: Add PWM framework support This patch adds framework support for PWM (pulse width modulation) devices. The is a barebone PWM API already in the kernel under include/linux/pwm.h, but it does not allow for multiple drivers as each of them implements the pwm_*() functions. There are other PWM framework patches around from Bill Gatliff. Unlike his framework this one does not change the existing API for PWMs so that this framework can act as a drop in replacement for the existing API. Why another framework? Several people argue that there should not be another framework for PWMs but they should be integrated into one of the existing frameworks like led or hwmon. Unlike these frameworks the PWM framework is agnostic to the purpose of the PWM. In fact, a PWM can drive a LED, but this makes the LED framework a user of a PWM, like already done in leds-pwm.c. The gpio framework also is not suitable for PWMs. Every gpio could be turned into a PWM using timer based toggling, but on the other hand not every PWM hardware device can be turned into a gpio due to the lack of hardware capabilities. This patch does not try to improve the PWM API yet, this could be done in subsequent patches.

pwm: Conflict with legacy PWM API In order to avoid duplicate symbols with legacy PWM API implementations, the new PWM framework needs to conflict with any of the existing legacy implementations. This is done in two ways: for implementations provided by drivers, a conflict is added to the driver to ensure it will have to be ported to the PWM subsystem before it can coexist with other PWM providers. For architecture-specific code, the conflict is added to the PWM symbol to avoid confusion when a previously picked platform or machine can no longer be selected because of the PWM subsystem being included.

This enables PWM support through the generic PWM framework.
You only need to enable this, if you also want to enable
one or more of the PWM drivers below.
If unsure, say N.
