Sven Van Asbroeck 90e5b27ceb pwm: pca9685: Fix PWM/GPIO inter-operation
commit 9cc5f232a4 upstream.

This driver allows pwms to be requested as gpios via gpiolib. Obviously,
it should not be allowed to request a GPIO when its corresponding PWM is
already requested (and vice versa). So it requires some exclusion code.

Given that the PWMm and GPIO cores are not synchronized with respect to
each other, this exclusion code will also require proper
synchronization.

Such a mechanism was in place, but was inadvertently removed by Uwe's
clean-up in commit e926b12c61 ("pwm: Clear chip_data in pwm_put()").

Upon revisiting the synchronization mechanism, we found that
theoretically, it could allow two threads to successfully request
conflicting PWMs/GPIOs.

Replace with a bitmap which tracks PWMs in-use, plus a mutex. As long as
PWM and GPIO's respective request/free functions modify the in-use
bitmap while holding the mutex, proper synchronization will be
guaranteed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
