Should this perhaps reuse the struct pwm_device's ->lock?

The timeout here should make sure callers don't hang forever. But maybe
you can still make sure that when the PWM gets disabled the wait queue
is woken and perhaps return an appropriate error code to let users know
that the operation was interrupted.

Also, how about letting callers choose the value of the timeout? In some
cases they may be interested in long-running signals. In other cases the
whole second timeout may be much too long.

The comment here is slightly confusing because it implies that disabling
the capture should be done conditionally, whereas it is always disabled.

The multiplication by 1 is unnecessary.
