This reverts commit a6030d71e62d3e0e270bf3b7fb48d32a636732db.
which was applied to v5.4.49. This ends in a compile issue:
CC drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.o - due to target missing drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c: In function 'jz4740_pwm_apply': drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c:111:28: error: 'rate' undeclared (first use in this function) tmp = (unsigned long long)rate * state->duty_cycle; ^ drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.c:111:28: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in make[4]: *** [drivers/pwm/pwm-jz4740.o] Error 1
v5.5 and later include the required additional patches to define the rate variable.
So 9017dc4fbd59 ("pwm: jz4740: Enhance precision in calculation of duty cycle") which is in v5.8-rc1 was backported to stable:
v5.4.49 (as commit a6030d71e62d3e0e270bf3b7fb48d32a636732db) v5.7.5 (as commit e0e71bb7852142a18fb829da419013bb6da9ed3f)
However 9017dc4fbd59 depends on
ce1f9cece057 ("pwm: jz4740: Use clocks from TCU driver")
(which in mainline comes before 9017dc4fbd59 as it's included in v5.7-rc1).
As ce1f9cece057 was not backported to v5.4.x, this must either be done, or we need to patch that. Will reply with a suggested change.
In v5.7.x there is no problem.
