Subject[PATCH] pwm: imx27: fix race condition .apply,.get_state
Date
From: Leif Middelschulte <Leif.Middelschulte@klsmartin.com>

A race condition might occur, ultimately leading to switching off the
PWM that is supposed to be turned on.
The condition is more likely, if `CONFIG_PWM_DEBUG` is set and the PWM
has been enabled before Linux is booted.

After writing some value to the register linked to the duty cycle
(`MX3_PWMSAR`), the related debug function
(`core.c:pwm_apply_state_debug`) reads back (`.get_state`)
a wrong value (`0`) as the configured duty cycle. This value is stored
as part of a temporary state variable that it subsequently reapplies
to the PWM for testing purposes. Which, effectively, turns off the PWM.

This patch postpones the return of the `.apply` function until either
the written value can be read back as expected or the operation times
out.
