Subject: Re: [PATCH] pwm: core: cleanup pointer tests

Hey list,

After working on a new pwm-driver I noticed that not everybody actually 
has the set_polarity op and thus its an optional property. For a moment 
I figured I could add a 'software' polarity function by inverting the 
calculation of the on/off time, but I don't even have the hardware to 
test it so ...

Sorry for the noise, this patch can be ignored.
