+ <title>Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)</title>
+ <para>
+ Pulse-width modulation is a modulation technique primarily used to
+ control power supplied to electrical devices.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The PWM framework provides an abstraction for providers and consumers
+ of PWM signals. A controller that provides one or more PWM signals is
+ registered as <structname>struct pwm_chip</structname>. Providers are
+ expected to embed this structure in a driver-specific structure. This
+ structure contains fields that describe a particular chip.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ A chip exposes one or more PWM signal sources, each of which exposed
+ as a <structname>struct pwm_device</structname>. Operations can be
+ performed on PWM devices to control the period, duty cycle, polarity
+ and active state of the signal.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note that PWM devices are exclusive resources: they can always only be
+ used by one consumer at a time.

+Required properties:
+ - compatible: Should be "nxp,lpc1850-sct-pwm"
+ - reg: Should contain physical base address and length of pwm registers.
+ - clocks: Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
+ See ../clock/clock-bindings.txt for details.
+ - clock-names: Must include the following entries.
+ - pwm: PWM operating clock.
+ - #pwm-cells: Should be 3. See pwm.txt in this directory for the description
+ of the cells format.

+Example:
+ pwm: pwm@40000000 {
