Now that the upper layers all go through a layer to tie into these
information functions that translates an sbuf into char * and len. The
current interface suffers issues of what to do in cases of truncation,
etc. Instead, migrate all these functions to using struct sbuf and these
issues go away. The caller is also in charge of any memory allocation
and/or expansion that's needed during this process.
Create a bus_generic_child_{pnpinfo,location} and make it default. It
just returns success. This is for those busses that have no information
for these items. Migrate the now-empty routines to using this as
appropriate.
Document these new interfaces with man pages, and oversight from before.

The pwm utility cant set the only flag defined (PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED) so this
patch add the option -I (capital letter i) to send it to the drivers.
None of existing PWM driver have implemented support for flags.
But soon:ish I will put up an review of a pwm driver using TI OMAP DMTimer.

Make the pwm_backlight module depend on backlight, so it
has access to the backlight interface symbols. Otherwise you'll
get an error like:
link_elf: symbol backlight_get_info_desc undefined

This reverts commit aa37baf3d7.
The reverted commit was motivated by a problem observed on stable/12,
but it turns out that a better solution was committed in r348309 but not
MFCed. So, revert this change since it is unnecessary and not really
correct: it assumes that the order in which module metadata records is
defined determines their order in the output linker set. While this
seems to hold in my testing, it is not guaranteed.

PNP info definitions currently have an unfortunate requirement in that
they must follow the associated module definition in the module metadata
linker set. Otherwise devmatch can segfault while processing the linker
hints file since kldxref maintains the order in the linker set.
A number of drivers violate this requirement. In some cases this can
cause devmatch(8) to segfault when processing the linker hints file.
Work around the problem for now simply by adjusting the drivers.

names. I.e., everything related to pwm now goes in /dev/pwm. This will
make it easier for userland tools to turn an unqualified name into a fully
qualified pathname, whether it's the base pwmcX.Y name or a label name.
Previously, there was a pwmc instance for each instance of pwm hardware
regardless of how many pwm channels that hardware supported. Now there
will be a pwmc instance for each channel when the hardware supports
multiple channels. With a separate instance for each channel, we can have
"named channels" in userland by making devfs alias entries in /dev/pwm.
These changes add support for ivars to pwmbus, and use an ivar to track the
channel number for each child. It also adds support for hinted children.
In pwmc, the driver checks for a label hint, and if present, it's used to
create an alias for the cdev in /dev/pwm. It's not anticipated that hints
will be heavily used, but it's easy to do and allows quick ad-hoc creation
of named channels from userland by using kenv to create hint.pwmc.N.label=
hints. Upcoming changes will add FDT support, and most labels will
probably be specified that way.
is nothing left in the file that related to pwmbus at all. It just contains
prototypes for the functions implemented in dev/pwm.ofw_pwm.c, so name it
accordingly and fix the include protect wrappers to match.
A new pwmbus.h will be coming along in a future commit.
The pwm and pwmbus interfaces were nearly identical, this merges them into a
single pwmbus interface. The pwmbus driver now implements the pwmbus
interface by simply passing all calls through to its parent (the hardware
driver). The channel_count method moves from pwm to pwmbus, and the
get_bus method is deleted (just no longer needed).
The net effect is that the interface for doing pwm stuff is now the same
regardless of whether you're a child of pwmbus, or some random driver
elsewhere in the hierarchy that is bypassing the pwmbus layer and is talking
directly to the hardware driver via cross-hierarchy connections established
using fdt data.
The pwmc driver is now a child of pwmbus, instead of being its sibling
(that's why the get_bus method is no longer needed; pwmc now gets the
device_t of the bus using device_get_parent()).
ioctl definitions and related datatypes that allow userland control of pwm
hardware via the pwmc device. The new name and location better reflects its
assocation with a single device driver.
The pwm subsystem consist of API for PWM controllers, pwmbus to register them
and a pwm(8) utility to talk to them from userland.
