What if somebody has this in the DT:

	PWM_MODE_COMPLEMENTARY | PWM_MODE_PUSH_PULL

which one takes precedence, or do we reject it?

Wouldn't it be preferable to either move the modes into an extra field
within the flags field, or perhaps even add another field?

I guess since Rob's already acked this, that concern may be unfounded.
