[PATCH v2 14/22] pwm: Probe PWM chip devices on demand

From: Tomeu Vizoso <hidden>
Date: 2015-07-28 13:23:39
Also in: linux-acpi, linux-arm-kernel, linux-pwm, lkml
Subsystem: pwm subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Uwe Kleine-König, Linus Torvalds

When looking up a PWM chip through its firmware node, probe it if it
hasn't already.

The goal is to reduce deferred probes to a minimum, as it makes it very
cumbersome to find out why a device failed to probe, and can introduce
very big delays in when a critical device is probed.
