I think it would make more sense to have the board's Kconfig option
select PWM instead. After all if you're defining a lookup table you
probably want to use it as well.

Eventually I was going to rework the pwm.h a bit to safely compile
out if the PWM symbol is not selected, similar to how the GPIO or
clock subsystems do this. Something like your patch will be part of
that but more needs to be done. If you feel up to it, maybe you can
take this patch further and provide dummies for all the remaining
functions as well.

If you do that, one additional comment below.

This should be "static inline" and I prefer to have the {} on separate
lines.
