Right, ir-rx51 has not yet been converted to DT. Additionally it depends !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, since it requires <plat/dmtimer.h>. I remember a patchset adding a omap-pwm driver using dmtimers. If that was added to the kernel, ir-rx51 could probably be switched to the PWM API + hrtimer API instead of depending on the dmtimer API. At the end not much is gained, though, since then the PWM driver would probably require the dmtimer API. -- Sebastian
