Perhaps "chips" -> "controllers"?

Why are you removing Matthieu from the list of authors and copyright
here? From a brief look it seems like this new driver is still based on
code from the old driver and not a complete rewrite.

I'm not sure how well that will play together with multiplatform support
but perhaps that's not an issue for ep93xx?

This looks like it would belong in the domain of pinctrl, but I suspect
that ep93xx doesn't support that.

clk_enable() can fail, so you should check the return value and
propagate errors.

Nit: the closing */ is wrongly aligned.

Needs a check of the return value.

I'd prefer if this did some explicit conversion from the PWM framework
value to the driver-specific value, even if they happen to be the same
in this case.

Also needs to check the return value.

static const, please.

No need for this check. It will never happen.

This is no longer required because the core sets it to the proper value.

Oh, and I didn't mention it before, but please get rid of all the
needless tabs for alignment. It's completely useless and doesn't help
with readability at all in my opinion.
