pwm: Add sysfs interface
Add a simple sysfs interface to the generic PWM framework.
/sys/class/pwm/
`-- pwmchipN/ for each PWM chip
|-- export (w/o) ask the kernel to export a PWM channel
|-- npwm (r/o) number of PWM channels in this PWM chip
|-- pwmX/ for each exported PWM channel
| |-- duty_cycle (r/w) duty cycle (in nanoseconds)
| |-- enable (r/w) enable/disable PWM
| |-- period (r/w) period (in nanoseconds)
| `-- polarity (r/w) polarity of PWM (normal/inversed)
`-- unexport (w/o) return a PWM channel to the kernel
Based on work by Lars Poeschel.
