Before this commit pwm_lpss_apply() was making 2 assuming 2 pre-conditions were met by the existing hardware state:
I think that "making 2" is too much.
You're right at first the sentence had something about making 2 assumptions, then I added pre-conditions in there for it to better describe the problem...
- That the base-unit and on-time-div read back from the
control register are those actually in use, so that it can skip setting the update bit if the read-back value matches the desired values.
- That the controller is enabled when the cached
pwm_state.enabled says that the controller is enabled.
As the long history of fixes for subtle (often suspend/resume) lpss-pwm issues shows, this assumptions are not necessary always true.
- Specifically is not true on some (*) Cherry Trail devices
with a nasty GFX0._PS3 method which: a. saves the ctrl reg value. b. sets the base-unit to 0 and writes the update bit to apply/commit c. restores the original ctrl value without setting the update bit, so that the 0 base-unit value is still in use.
- Assumption 2. currently is true, but only because of the code which
saves/restores the state on suspend/resume. By convention restoring the PWM state should be done by the PWM consumer and the presence of this code in the pmw-lpss driver is a bug. Therefor the save/restore code will be dropped in the next patch in this series, after which this assumption also is no longer true.
This commit changes the pwm_lpss_apply() to make any assumptions about the
Did you mean to say "... to _not_ make any assumptions ..."?
Yes, oops. That is a small but important difference.
I'll do a v10 with your 2 Acked-by's added and both commit msg issues fixed.
Hopefully that will be the last version.
state the hardware is in. Instead it makes pwm_lpss_apply() always fully program the PWM controller, making it much less fragile.

Other than the two small nits, this looks much more idiomatic and true to the atomic API, so:
