Thanks for your efforts with this driver. The new code becomes much
nicer compared to my old driver.

The TPU hardware block is used across several different Renesas
product lines, including R-Mobile and R-Car. So with that in mind, can
you please consider renaming this driver?

I propose pwm-renesas-tpu.c or pwm-tpu.c instead of pwm-rmob.c. This
because this driver has nothing to do with the R mobile product line.

Thanks,

/ magnus
