Hello,

Sorry for the late feedback about this.

One issue I see is that you have only two counters A and B. You
associate counter A with the first bank of GPIOs, and counter B with
the second bank of GPIOs.

Which means that if you need to PWM a GPIO from the third bank of
GPIOs, you can't, even if the HW allows it.

While I'm fine with not supporting all the HW features, but it's a bit
sad that this gets encoded into the DT.

But I guess the only way to make this possible would be to have a
single node for all GPIOs rather than one per bank? Or do we have a way
to have those counter A/B registers bound to a separate PWM driver, and
then the GPIO driver being smart enough to select the counter to be
used? Seems not easy to do though :-/

Why does mvpwm needs to be allocated separately? Why not directly embed
it inside the mvebu_gpio_chip structure?

Do we need a separate spinlock?

Whum, what are you doing here?

Thanks,
