4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Thierry Reding <thierry.red...@gmail.com> commit ff01c944cfa939f3474c28d88223213494aedf0b upstream. Commit d1cd21427747 ("pwm: Set enable state properly on failed call to enable") introduced a mutex that is needed to protect internal state of PWM devices. Since that mutex is acquired in pwm_set_polarity() and in pwm_enable() and might potentially block, all PWM devices effectively become "might sleep". It's rather pointless to keep the .can_sleep field around, but given that there are external users let's postpone the removal for the next release cycle.
