Hi Janusz,

thank you for the comments.

There's only one pwm input to the pwm-clock, so I see no need to use a
con_id here and require the pwm-names device tree property to be set.

Thanks, I'll fix that.

Of course, this is only to make sure that the clock-frequency and pwm
duty cycle are roughly the same.

Yes, I'll add that.

Are there pwm drivers that disable pwm output in their suspend callback?
I don't think system wide suspend/resume ordering can protect against
that at all, since the two devices may be on completely different buses.
In that case it'd probably be best to use runtime pm to keep the pwm
activated until clk_disable/pwm_disable is called by the consumer.

Will add and remove those, respectively.

Did you add "simple-bus" to the clocks node compatible? The pwm-clock
device tree node needs to be placed somewhere where of_platform_populate
will consider it.
