The rate of the PWM calculated as follows: hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns; rate = (rate + (hz / 2)) / hz; This has the precision loss in lower PWM rate. Change this to have more precision as: hz = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL(NSEC_PER_SEC * 100, period_ns); rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(rate * 100, hz) Example: 1. period_ns = 16672000, PWM clock rate is 200 KHz. Based on old formula hz = NSEC_PER_SEC / period_ns = 1000000000ul/16672000 = 59 (59.98) rate = (200K + 59/2)/59 = 3390 Based on new method: hz = 5998 rate = DIV_ROUND_CLOSE(200000*100, 5998) = 3334 If we measure the PWM signal rate, we will get more accurate period with rate value of 3334 instead of 3390. 2. period_ns = 16803898, PWM clock rate is 200 KHz. Based on old formula: hz = 59, rate = 3390 Based on new formula: hz = 5951, rate = 3360 The PWM signal rate of 3360 is more near to requested period than 3333.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
