Good question. If Sascha is able to come up with the patch to introduce
the generic layer, I think it would be good to have it go though him.

Just posted a rebased and documented series again. Let's see what
happens. The time seems good to finally get this into the kernel.

I'd say let's go forward with your framework. The two patches currently
because they both add Makefile/Kconfig files in drivers/pwm.

Maybe you can add Viresh's patch to your series, and wait for him
to follow up with a patch to convert it?

I've tried to blindly do the conversion myself, but got stuck with the
definition of the platform device that has multiple pwms in it.
I wonder if it would be better to change the st-pwm platform
interface to define one platform_device for each of them.

Definitely. From a quick look at the driver it seems the pwms all have
a seperate register space.

I can add Viresh's patch to my series once we agree on the base patch.
In the meantime maybe Viresh starts converting it ;)
