My work on PWM is purely done in my spare time. I don't get paid for any
of it. I currently have two kids that need home-schooling, as many
others probably do, and I have a full time job doing non-PWM related
things. As a result my spare time is close to nil these days.

I very much appreciate all the effort that others have spent in getting
this reviewed. I haven't been able to keep a very close eye on this, but
even the latest versions have some comments, so I didn't consider this
ready yet. If that's changed and everybody's okay with the changes, then
I can apply this to for-next. We haven't got all that much time left
before the merge window and I had hoped this would be ready earlier so
that we'd have more time for this in linux-next. But I'd be willing to
at least give it a try. If it starts to look like there are going to be
issues with this I can always back them out and we can have another go
next release.
