Hi Uwe,

Thanks for your comment.

OK, I will update.

Please let me check.
If I unconditionally add 'state->enabled = true' to visconti_pwm_get_state(),
state->enabled is set to true because visconti_pwm_get_state() is called when
the device is created (this is when I write the device number to the export of
/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0 ).
And since PIPGM_PCSR is 0 in this state, the pulse by PWM is not output.
However, I think this means that the device is working as this driver.
Is this correct?
