Remove all the unwanted exports from the driverI'm adding event capture capability to the pwm-omap driver and so far used v4.15-rc3 as codebase. Intended use is an IR receiver; for that I need to measure pulses width and spaces between pulses. So DM timer was setup to generate interupt after both TCAR1 and TCAR2 are filled, values are passed to IR decoder and TCAR_IT_FLAG is cleared. Of course, this is just proof of concept and needs to be polished and generalized, but to make it at least work I need functions you just unexported (plus some new). Question is whenever we need this level of indirection (omap_dm_timer_ops) or plain exports are enough.The general guidance is not to do plain exports and go via omap_dm_timer_ops....in contrary what other clocksource drivers are doing. Now I'm assuming it is okay to extend omap_dm_timer_ops. That would mean check for ops members to be assigned should be also extended or we should delete it altogether and assume all members are populated?It should be fine to extend omap_dm_timer_ops. What are the ops missing for your new implementation?Read capture registers, configure capture and ack interrupt. Perhaps set_pwm could be extended to configure capture as well. I'll update my code on top of your changes and we'll see how it would work.
Okay Thanks!
