I didn't test legacy boot, as I don't really see any value of doing it now the end of the legacy boot is near, the driver does not function correctly, however the patchset at least allows for the driver to be build and we have something to improve on. And I am going to send a patch that fixes the problem with omap_dm_timer_request_specific(). So, for both patches, you may add: Tested-by: Ivaylo Dimitrov <redacted>OK thanks. Mauro, do the driver changes look OK to you? If so, I could queue the driver too for v4.7 because of the dependency with your ack. Or I can provide you an immutable branch with just the pdata changes against v4.6-rc1 if you prefer that.
Mauro, I've applied the pdata patch only into my omap-for-v4.7/legacy branch.
Feel free to merge immutable commit against v4.6-rc1 which is 8453c5cafd32
("ARM: OMAP2+: Add more functions to pwm pdata for ir-rx51") to your tree
also for v4.7 if you decide to apply the ir-rx51 driver changes. Else we need
to wait for v4.7-rc1 :)
In the meanwhile I was able to make the driver functional (on top of the $subject series) - for that purpose I had to fix dmtimer.c - it turns out that PM runtime get()/put() is called in almost every function exported by dmtimer, which in turn slows down IR transmission to 4-5s instead of 0.5s. I also replaced GPT9 dmtimer with PWM framework API (pwm-omap-dmtimer needs a patch) and implemented some DT support. Now, how shall I proceed with those - wait for the $subject series to be accepted or post the patches now?
Best to do incremental patches on what was posted to avoid confusion.
Tony, I was unable to find the tree on kernel.org your patches are in. Which tree to use to base my patches on?
The pdata changes are in Linux next with omap-for-v4.7/legacy, the driver changes I have not committed into any upstream going tree. Seems like Mauro can take it after merging in commit 8453c5cafd32. Regards, Tony
