(+cc Arnd Bergmann) Oh, sorry. There was my mistake. I tested this with linux-next tree. With linux 3.14-rc1, it makes the problem as below. drivers/built-in.o: In function `lm3630a_pwm_ctrl': drivers/video/backlight/lm3630a_bl.c:168: undefined reference to `pwm_config' drivers/video/backlight/lm3630a_bl.c:172: undefined reference to `pwm_disable' drivers/video/backlight/lm3630a_bl.c:170: undefined reference to `pwm_enable' drivers/built-in.o: In function `lp855x_pwm_ctrl': drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:249: undefined reference to `pwm_config' drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:253: undefined reference to `pwm_disable' drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c:251: undefined reference to `pwm_enable' > > > > > > ./include/linux/pwm.h > > > #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PWM) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_PWM) > > > ..... > > > #else > > > > Hm PXA that I am using defines CONFIG_HAVE_PWM, but doesn't > > provide the required signatures (pwm_config/pwm_disable/pwm_enable). > > > > One of two things is wrong: > > > > - Either the PXA platform is breaking the CONFIG_HAVE_PWM > > contract by not providing pwm_config/pwm_disable/pwm_enable > > functions.

In the case of "CONFIG_HAVE_PWM=y && CONFIG_PWM=n", it makes the problem. The HAVE_PWM symbol is only for legacy platforms that provide the PWM API without using the generic framework. PXA looks to use the generic PWM framework. Then, how about removing "select HAVE_PWM" from PXA as below? --- a/arch/arm/mach-pxa/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm/mach-pxa/Kconfig @@ -7,7 +7,6 @@ comment "Intel/Marvell Dev Platforms (sorted by hardware release time)" config MACH_PXA3XX_DT bool "Support PXA3xx platforms from device tree" select CPU_PXA300 - select HAVE_PWM select POWER_SUPPLY select PXA3xx select USE_OF @@ -23,12 +22,10 @@ config ARCH_LUBBOCK config MACH_MAINSTONE bool "Intel HCDDBBVA0 Development Platform (aka Mainstone)" - select HAVE_PWM select PXA27x config MACH_ZYLONITE bool - select HAVE_PWM select PXA3xx .....
