And resend as well. Use resend only if you're resending without having
made any changes.

I suspend that you'll also want to use pwm->hwpwm instead of pwm->pwm.
pwm->hwpwm is the index of the PWM for the chip, whereas pwm->pwm is a
global index so the above breaks if another driver registered a PWM chip
before this driver.
