The HLCDC IP available in some Atmel SoCs (i.e. at91sam9x5, at91sam9n12
or sama5d3 families for instance) provides a PWM device.
This driver add support for a PWM chip exposing a single PWM device (which
will most likely be used to drive a backlight device).

The driver consists of core, PCI, and platform parts. It would be better
to split them into separate files.
The platform driver is now called pwm-lpss-platform. Thus, previously
set CONFIG_PWM_LPSS=m is not enough to build it. But we are on the safe
side since it seems no one from outside Intel is using it for now.
While here, move to use macros module_pci_driver() and
module_platform_driver().

This patch adds a PWM driver based on Atmel Timer Counter Block. The
Timer Counter Block is used in Waveform generator mode.
A Timer Counter Block provides up to 6 PWM devices grouped by 2:
* group 0 = PWM 0 and 1
* group 1 = PWM 2 and 3
* group 2 = PMW 4 and 5
PWM devices in a given group must be configured with the same period
value. If a PWM device in a group tries to change the period value and
the other device is already configured with a different value an error
will be returned.
This driver requires device tree support. The Timer Counter Block number
used to create a PWM chip is given by the tc-block field in an
"atmel,tcb-pwm" compatible node.
This patch was tested on kizbox board (at91sam9g20 SoC) with pwm-leds.

In some platforms (like am33xx), PWM sub modules (ECAP, EHRPWM, EQEP)
are integrated to PWM subsystem. These PWM submodules has resources
shared and only one register bit-field is provided to control
module/clock enable/disable, makes it difficult to handle common
resources from independent PWMSS submodule drivers.
So the solution here implemented in this patch is, to create driver for
PWMSS and take the role of parent driver for PWM submodules. PWMSS
parent driver enumerates all the child nodes under PWMSS module. Also
symbol "pwmss_submodule_state_change" exported to enable clock gating
for individual PWMSS submodules, and submodule drivers has to enable
clock gating from their drivers.
As this is only supported during DT boot, the parent/child relationship
is created and populated in DT execution flow. The only required change
is inside DTS file, making EHRPWM & ECAP as a child to PWMSS node.

All legacy PWM providers have now been moved to the PWM subsystem. The
plan for 3.8 is to adapt all board files to provide a lookup table for
PWM devices in order to get rid of the global namespace. Subsequently,
users of the legacy pwm_request() and pwm_free() functions can be
migrated to the new pwm_get() and pwm_put() functions. Once this has
been completed, the legacy API and the compatibility code in the core
can be removed.
In addition to the above, these changes also add support for configuring
the polarity of a PWM signal (currently only supported on ECAP and
EHRPWM) and include a much needed rework of the i.MX driver. Managed
functions to obtain and release a PWM device (devm_pwm_get() and
devm_pwm_put()) have been added and the pwm-backlight driver has been
updated to use them. If the PWM subsystem hasn't been enabled, dummy
functions are provided that allow the subsystem to safely compile out.
Some common checks on input parameters have been moved to the core and
removed from the drivers. Finally, a small fix corrects the description
of the PWM specifier's second cell in the device tree representation.

This patch adds framework support for PWM (pulse width modulation) devices.
The is a barebone PWM API already in the kernel under include/linux/pwm.h,
but it does not allow for multiple drivers as each of them implements the
pwm_*() functions.
There are other PWM framework patches around from Bill Gatliff. Unlike
his framework this one does not change the existing API for PWMs so that
this framework can act as a drop in replacement for the existing API.
Why another framework?
Several people argue that there should not be another framework for PWMs
but they should be integrated into one of the existing frameworks like led
or hwmon. Unlike these frameworks the PWM framework is agnostic to the
purpose of the PWM. In fact, a PWM can drive a LED, but this makes the
LED framework a user of a PWM, like already done in leds-pwm.c. The gpio
framework also is not suitable for PWMs. Every gpio could be turned into
a PWM using timer based toggling, but on the other hand not every PWM hardware
device can be turned into a gpio due to the lack of hardware capabilities.
This patch does not try to improve the PWM API yet, this could be done in
subsequent patches.
