Does it also work if you add || PWM to the PWM beeper driver's depends?
I thought I had done something similar for pwm-backlight, but looking at
the logs I didn't. The reason was that it also uses the new APIs
introduced by the PWM subsystem. For pwm-beeper the situation is
different because it only uses the legacy API and therefore can work
with both the legacy and new frameworks.

I think selecting HAVE_PWM won't work properly because it isn't provided
by all architectures. So you might end up with PWM enabled on PowerPC,
which doesn't define HAVE_PWM and will probably give you Kconfig
warnings and will still not let you select pwm-beeper.
