From 76abbdde2d95a3807d0dc6bf9f84d03d0dbd4f3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: H Hartley Sweeten Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 10:38:59 -0700 Subject: pwm: Add sysfs interface Add a simple sysfs interface to the generic PWM framework. /sys/class/pwm/ `-- pwmchipN/ for each PWM chip |-- export (w/o) ask the kernel to export a PWM channel |-- npwm (r/o) number of PWM channels in this PWM chip |-- pwmX/ for each exported PWM channel | |-- duty_cycle (r/w) duty cycle (in nanoseconds) | |-- enable (r/w) enable/disable PWM | |-- period (r/w) period (in nanoseconds) | `-- polarity (r/w) polarity of PWM (normal/inversed) `-- unexport (w/o) return a PWM channel to the kernel Based on work by Lars Poeschel.
