Who handles the locking on all these functions. The pwm layer doesn't but
simnply exports stuff like pwm_config() directly to other bits of the
kernel so you are not guaranteed to be called via sysfs.

(This btw looks to be a problem with a pile of the other pwm drivers, and
with the pwm core code which doesn't properly lock its own handling of
pwm->duty_cycle and pwm->period in pwm_config(), nor pwm->polarity in
pwm_set_polarity).

I think the core config methods need some kind of locking ?
