This doesn't belong in this header. It should go into core.c in
drivers/pwm.

The placement of this prototype is odd. I think a better place would be
between pwm_request_from_chip() and pwm_get(), separated by blank lines
to make it stand out as an OF specific function.

This function should only be used by PWM drivers and therefore doesn't
need to have a dummy implementation such as this.
