Some PWM devices require sleeping, for example if the pwm device is connected over I2C. However, many PWM devices could be used from atomic context, e.g. memory mapped PWM. This is useful for, for example, the pwm-ir-tx driver which requires precise timing. Sleeping causes havoc with the generated IR signal. Since not all PWM devices can support atomic context, we also add a pwm_might_sleep() function to check if is not supported.

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.
