[hwmon-next PATCH v3 0/4] hwmon: (adt7470) Add PWM provider and thermal sensor support

From: Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca <luizluca@gmail.com>

Also in: linux-hwmon, linux-pwm, lkml

The ADT7470 is a temperature monitor and PWM fan controller capable of
monitoring up to ten external temperature sensors and controlling up to
four PWM outputs.

Currently, the driver exposes these sensors and PWM controls only
through the hwmon sysfs interface. This patch series integrates the
ADT7470 driver with the kernel's thermal and PWM subsystems. This allows
temperature sensors to participate in Device Tree thermal zones while
exposing the PWM outputs as generic PWM providers for consumers such as
pwm-fan.

Patch 1 adds the YAML device tree binding documentation.
Patch 2 introduces the ADT7470_PWM_MAX macro.
Patch 3 registers the four PWM channels as a generic PWM provider.
Patch 4 registers the external temperature sensors with the thermal
framework.

Changes in v3:
- Migrated from the `.apply` callback to the PWM Waveform API.
- Moved fixes to another patch series:
  20260727-adt7470_thermalzone-v3-0-21424d550c3d@gmail.com
- Use guard(mutex) for simpler locking.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260717-adt7470_thermalzone-v2-0-a55147958fad@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Fixed 2 previous bugs uncovered by Sashiko-bot during review.
- Dropped the thermal cooling device registration for the PWM channels.
- Implemented generic PWM provider support using the PWM subsystem.
- Updated Kconfig to safely handle the PWM subsystem dependency (depends on PWM || PWM=n).
- Updated Device Tree bindings to require #pwm-cells instead of #cooling-cells.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260716-adt7470_thermalzone-v1-0-cc55ef35edde@gmail.com
