Using the pwm-meson driver on the 32-bit SoCs causes memory corruption.
The result are some hard-to-explain errors, for example
devm_clk_register() crashes with a NULL dereference somewhere deep in
the common clock framework code. In some cases the kernel even refused
to boot when any of the PWM controllers were enabled on Meson8b.
The root cause is an incorrect memory size in the devm_kcalloc() call in
meson_pwm_probe(). The code allocates an array of meson_pwm_channel
structs, but the size given is the size of the meson_pwm struct (which
seems like a small copy-and-paste error, as meson_pwm is allocated a few
lines above).
Even with this typo the code seemed to work fine on the 64-bit GX SoCs
(maybe due to the structs having the same size in the compiled result,
but I haven't checked this further).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
