PWM_CRC is a bool symbol. So pwm-crc.o can never be part of a module.

(If I'm wrong, and that object file can actually be part of a module,
you can stop reading here.)

Perhaps this include is not needed.

For built-in only code THIS_MODULE is basically equivalent to NULL (see
include/linux/export.h). So I guess this line can be dropped.

Speaking from memory: for built-in only code this is equivalent to
calling 
    platform_driver_register(&crystalcove_pwm_driver);

from a wrapper, and marking that wrapper with device_initcall().

These macros will be effectively preprocessed away for built-in only
code.
