Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/3] Add PWM clock support for bcm2835

Yes the devicetree patch from patchset version one does not work with
this version. I haven't sent the modified devicetree because Eric said
it is better to send it in a separate patchset. If you want to test it I
attached the working devicetree patch at the end.

But, yes, that would be nice if pwm driver was protected from this
division by zero.

In fact, default parent for pwm after boot up is GND (CM_GP0CTL SRC ==
0). Which means that the default pwm clock rate is 0. The clock appears
to be orphan because in the bcm2835 clock driver, the GND clock is not
registered.

So, IMHO, we have to set the default pwm rate from the devicetree, using
assigned-clock-rates. That what does the following dts patch.

This patch also set the gpio pin 18 to proper alternate function in order
to be able to get pwm output from this gpio.

Thanks
