With all due respect, it looks like you have reinvented portions of my
RFC for a comprehensive PWM API that has been floating around on
linux-embedded for over a year--- with an update coming in the last
two weeks or so. Why?

To make matters worse, when I posted my original code I was told to
move the whole discussion to linux-embedded, because as a
cross-platform API proposal that's where it belongs. I encourage you
do likewise.

I have a terse email style, so I just want to be clear that I'm not
mad or anything. Honest! I'm just disappointed that you've invested
so much hard work in traveling down the same path I came over a year
ago. Bummer for everyone.

Can we not combine our efforts? I haven't reviewed all of your
patches yet, but you are clearly ahead of me in specific ARM platform
support. On the other hand, I think my code is more refined in many
other areas. I also have Blackfin, PowerPC, and Cirrus (ARM) support,
though some of the code is from contributors who are holding it until
I proffer my final code.


What do you think? Just let me know privately by email, or over on
linux-embedded.


Thanks!
