BTW, that's the wrong way to do it. If the F75373S doesn't support
changing the PWM mode, then the sysfs attribute in question should be
read-only for this chip type. Making it writable and returning an error
on write is confusing.

Riku, can you please submit a patch fixing this? The attribute should
be declared read-only, and then you can use sysfs_chmod_file() to
change it to read-write where supported. Take a look at the w83781d
driver for an example.

Thanks,
