Rob, what are your thoughts on this? I've been thinking about this some more and I'm having second thoughts about putting this into device tree because it doesn't actually describe a property of the PWM hardware but rather a use-case specific hint. It's a bit of a gray area because this is just part of the PWM specifier which already has use-case specific "configuration", such as the period and the polarity. Perhaps a better place for this is within the PWM API? We could add the same information into struct pwm_state and then consumers that don't care about specifics of the signal (such as pwm-backlight) can set that flag when they request a state to be applied.
