 Controller

Hello,

this is v3, right? It is helpful to point this out to ease reviewing.

Not sure what was updated here. But assuming this is compared to v2 this
is not a helpful info in the commit log.

While the description was too verbose in v2, this is too short. You
should at least mention something like "sifive,pwmX" and
"sifive,$cpuname-pwm" (or how ever that scheme works).

I'd drop these two lines and refer to bindings/pwm/pwm.txt instead.

As already said for v2: I'd drop "approx-".
