From 88b613e6234def882b0b601bf831bf89af2e27f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Trumtrar Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 09:50:12 +0200 Subject: pwm: add pca9685 driver Add pwm driver for the NXP pca9685 16 channel pwm-led controller. The driver is really barebones at this stage. E.g. the OE' pin and therefore the corresponding registers are not supported. The driver was tested on a HW where this pin is tied to GND.
