With this change each pwmchip defining the new-style waveform callbacks
can be accessed from userspace via a character device. Compared to the
sysfs-API this is faster and allows to pass the whole configuration in a
single ioctl allowing atomic application and thus reducing glitches.
On an STM32MP13 I see:
root@DistroKit:~ time pwmtestperf
real 0m 1.27s
user 0m 0.02s
sys 0m 1.21s
root@DistroKit:~ rm /dev/pwmchip0
root@DistroKit:~ time pwmtestperf
real 0m 3.61s
user 0m 0.27s
sys 0m 3.26s
pwmtestperf does essentially:
for i in 0 .. 50000:
pwm_set_waveform(duty_length_ns=i, period_length_ns=50000, duty_offset_ns=0)
and in the presence of /dev/pwmchip0 is uses the ioctls introduced here,
without that device it uses /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0.
