065cfbbb63 pwm: cros-ec: Add __packed to prevent padding
While the particular usage in question is likely safe (struct
cros_ec_command is 32-bit aligned, followed by <= 32-bit fields), it's
been suggested this is not a great pattern to follow for the general
case -- for example, if we follow a 'struct cros_ec_command' (which is
32-bit- but not 64-bit-aligned) with a struct that starts with a 64-bit
type (e.g., u64), the compiler may add padding.

Let's add __packed, to inform the compiler of our true intention -- to
have no padding between these struct elements -- and to future proof for
any refactorings that might occur.

1f0d3bb027 pwm: Add ChromeOS EC PWM driver
Use the new ChromeOS EC EC_CMD_PWM_{GET,SET}_DUTY commands to control
one or more PWMs attached to the Embedded Controller. Because the EC
allows us to modify the duty cycle (as a percentage, where U16_MAX is
100%) but not the period, we assign the period a fixed value of
EC_PWM_MAX_DUTY and reject all attempts to change it.

This driver supports only device tree at the moment, because that
provides a very flexible way of describing the relationship between PWMs
and their consumer devices (e.g., backlight). On a non-DT system, we'll
probably want to use the non-GENERIC addressing (i.e., we'll need to
make special device instances that will use EC_PWM_TYPE_KB_LIGHT or
EC_PWM_TYPE_DISPLAY_LIGHT), as well as the relatively inflexible
pwm_lookup infrastructure for matching devices. Defer that work for now.
