I've been playing with off-mode and discovered that the first attempt to set
the PWM after resume didn't work, but subsequent ones did.
I did some digging and came up with the following patch.  
With this in place, the omap_pwm_suspend() above is definitely pointless (was
wasn't really useful even without it).

Subject: [PATCH] OMAP dmtimer - simplify context-loss handling.

The context loss handling in dmtimer appears to assume that
   omap_dm_timer_set_load_start() or omap_dm_timer_start()
and
   omap_dm_timer_stop()

bracket all interactions.  Only the first two restore the context and
the last updates the context loss counter.
However omap_dm_timer_set_load() or omap_dm_timer_set_match() can
reasonably be called outside this bracketing, and the fact that they
call omap_dm_timer_enable() / omap_dm_timer_disable() suggest that
is expected.

So if, after a transition into and out of off-mode which would cause
the dm timer to loose all state, omap_dm_timer_set_match() is called
before omap_dm_timer_start(), the value read from OMAP_TIMER_CTRL_REG
will be 'wrong' and this wrong value will be stored context.tclr so
a subsequent omap_dm_timer_start() can fail (As the control register
is wrong).

Simplify this be doing the restore-from-context in
omap_dm_timer_enable() so that whenever the timer is enabled, the
context is correct.
Also update the ctx_loss_count at the same time as we notice it is
wrong - these is no value in delaying this until the
omap_dm_timer_disable() as it cannot change while the timer is
enabled.
