The patch itself seems fine, but there are two issues around it:
* The PWM drivers should really get moved to drivers/pwm and converted to the
new
PWM subsystem. I don't know if Hartley or Hans-Christian have plans to do
that already.
* Regarding the use of module_platform_driver_probe, I'm a little worried about
the interactions with deferred probing. I don't think there are any
regressions,
but we should probably make people aware that one cannot return -EPROBE_DEFER
from a platform_driver_probe function.
