pwm: imx27: Workaround of the pwm output bug when decrease the duty cycle
Implement workaround for ERR051198 (https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/errata/IMX8MN_0N14Y.pdf) PWM output may not function correctly if the FIFO is empty when a new SAR value is programmed. Description: When the PWM FIFO is empty, a new value programmed to the PWM Sample register (PWM_PWMSAR) will be directly applied even if the current timer period has not expired. If the new SAMPLE value programmed in the PWM_PWMSAR register is less than the previous value, and the PWM counter register (PWM_PWMCNR) that contains the current COUNT value is greater than the new programmed SAMPLE value, the current period will not flip the level. This may result in an output pulse with a duty cycle of 100%. Workaround: Program the current SAMPLE value in the PWM_PWMSAR register before updating the new duty cycle to the SAMPLE value in the PWM_PWMSAR register. This will ensure that the new SAMPLE value is modified during a non-empty FIFO, and can be successfully updated after the period expires. Write the old SAR value before updating the new duty cycle to SAR. This avoids writing the new value into an empty FIFO. This only resolves the issue when the PWM period is longer than 2us (or <500kHz) because write register is not quick enough when PWM period is very short. Reproduce steps: cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip1/pwm0 echo 2000000000 > period # It is easy to observe by using long period echo 1000000000 > duty_cycle echo 1 > enable echo 8000 > duty_cycle # One full high pulse will be seen by scope Fixes: 166091b ("[ARM] MXC: add pwm driver for i.MX SoCs") Reviewed-by: Jun Li <jun.li@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Clark Wang <xiaoning.wang@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241008194123.1943141-1-Frank.Li@nxp.com Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@kernel.org>

* PWM: PWM output may not function correctly if the FIFO is empty when

* timer period has not expired.

* less than the previous value, and the PWM counter register
288+
* (PWM_PWMCNR) that contains the current COUNT value is greater than

309+
* That is the output is active for a whole period.
310+
*
311+
* Workaround:
312+
* Check new SAR less than old SAR and current counter is in errata
313+
* windows, write extra old SAR into FIFO and new SAR will effect at
314+
* next period.
315+
*
316+
* Sometime period is quite long, such as over 1 second. If add old SAR
317+
* into FIFO unconditional, new SAR have to wait for next period. It
318+
* may be too long.
319+
*
320+
* Turn off the interrupt to ensure that not IRQ and schedule happen
321+
* during above operations. If any irq and schedule happen, counter
322+
* in PWM will be out of data and take wrong action.
323+
*
324+
* Add a safety margin 1.5us because it needs some time to complete
325+
* IO write.
326+
*
327+
* Use writel_relaxed() to minimize the interval between two writes to
328+
* the SAR register to increase the fastest PWM frequency supported.
329+
*
330+
* When the PWM period is longer than 2us(or <500kHz), this workaround
331+
* can solve this problem. No software workaround is available if PWM
332+
* period is shorter than IO write. Just try best to fill old data
333+
* into FIFO.
