In analogy to referencing a GPIO using the "gpios" property from ACPI,
support referencing a PWM using the "pwms" property.
ACPI entries must look like
Package () {"pwms", Package ()
{ <PWM device reference>, <PWM index>, <PWM period> [, <PWM flags>]}}
In contrast to the DT implementation, only _one_ PWM entry in the "pwms"
property is supported. As a consequence "pwm-names"-property and
con_id lookup aren't supported.
Support for ACPI is added via the firmware-node framework which is an
abstraction layer on top of ACPI/DT. To keep this patch clean, DT and
ACPI paths are kept separate. The firmware-node framework could be used
to unify both paths in a future patch.
To support leds-pwm driver, an additional method devm_fwnode_pwm_get()
which supports both ACPI and DT configuration is exported.

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.
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.
