Specifying PWM information for devices |
||||
====================================== |
||||
|
||||
1) PWM user nodes |
||||
----------------- |
||||
|
||||
PWM users should specify a list of PWM devices that they want to use |
||||
with a property containing a 'pwm-list': |
||||
|
||||
pwm-list ::= <single-pwm> [pwm-list] |
||||
single-pwm ::= <pwm-phandle> <pwm-specifier> |
||||
pwm-phandle : phandle to PWM controller node |
||||
pwm-specifier : array of #pwm-cells specifying the given PWM |
||||
(controller specific) |
||||
|
||||
PWM properties should be named "pwms". The exact meaning of each pwms |
||||
property must be documented in the device tree binding for each device. |
||||
An optional property "pwm-names" may contain a list of strings to label |
||||
each of the PWM devices listed in the "pwms" property. If no "pwm-names" |
||||
property is given, the name of the user node will be used as fallback. |
||||
|
||||
Drivers for devices that use more than a single PWM device can use the |
||||
"pwm-names" property to map the name of the PWM device requested by the |
||||
pwm_get() call to an index into the list given by the "pwms" property. |
||||
|
||||
The following example could be used to describe a PWM-based backlight |
||||
device: |
||||
|
||||
pwm: pwm { |
||||
#pwm-cells = <2>; |
||||
}; |
||||
|
||||
[...] |
||||
|
||||
bl: backlight { |
||||
pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000>; |
||||
pwm-names = "backlight"; |
||||
}; |
||||
|
||||
Note that in the example above, specifying the "pwm-names" is redundant |
||||
because the name "backlight" would be used as fallback anyway. |
||||
|
||||
pwm-specifier typically encodes the chip-relative PWM number and the PWM |
||||
period in nanoseconds. |
||||
|
||||
Optionally, the pwm-specifier can encode a number of flags (defined in |
||||
<dt-bindings/pwm/pwm.h>) in a third cell: |
||||
- PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED: invert the PWM signal polarity |
||||
|
||||
Example with optional PWM specifier for inverse polarity |
||||
|
||||
bl: backlight { |
||||
pwms = <&pwm 0 5000000 PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED>; |
||||
pwm-names = "backlight"; |
||||
}; |
||||
|
||||
2) PWM controller nodes |
||||
----------------------- |
||||
|
||||
PWM controller nodes must specify the number of cells used for the |
||||
specifier using the '#pwm-cells' property. |
||||
|
||||
An example PWM controller might look like this: |
||||
|
||||
pwm: pwm@7000a000 { |
||||
compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-pwm"; |
||||
reg = <0x7000a000 0x100>; |
||||
#pwm-cells = <2>; |
||||
}; |
