Subject: [PATCH 307/725] Revert "pwm: Set class for exported channels in
sysfs"
MIME-Version: 1.0

commit c289d6625237aa785b484b4e94c23b3b91ea7e60 upstream.
This reverts commit 7e5d1fd75c3dde9fc10c4472b9368089d1b81d00 ("pwm: Set
class for exported channels in sysfs") as it causes regression with
multiple pwm chip[1], when exporting a pwm channel (echo X > export):
- ABI (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-pwm) states pwmX should be
created in /sys/class/pwm/pwmchipN/pwmX
- Reverted patch causes new entry to be also created directly in
/sys/class/pwm/pwmX
- 1st time, exporting pwmX will create an entry in /sys/class/pwm/pwmX
- class attributes are added under pwmX folder, such as export, unexport
npwm, symlinks. This is wrong as it belongs to pwmchipN. It may cause
bad behavior and report wrong values.
- when another export happens on another pwmchip, it can't be created
(e.g. -EEXIST). This is causing the issue with multiple pwmchip.
Example on stm32 (stm32429i-eval) platform:
$ ls /sys/class/pwm
pwmchip0 pwmchip4
$ cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/
$ echo 0 > export
$ ls /sys/class/pwm
pwm0 pwmchip0 pwmchip4
$ cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip4/
$ echo 0 > export
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/pwm/pwm0'
...Exception stack follows...
This is also seen on other platform [2]
