This series adds support for atomic PWM update, or ITO, the capability
to update all the parameters of a PWM device (enabled/disabled, period,
duty and polarity) in one go.
on first reading the subject of your series I thought it was about
asserting that the newly set config is active before the call to
pwm_config (et al) returns. That's a problem I addressed a few times in
the past. I wonder if it's only me or if a different wording should be
used for "update all parameters with a single function call".
In my vocabulary "blocking" means that the work is done before the
function returns, and "atomic" means the work is done in one step.
