I tried to do it but there are too many functions from the PCA
driver that would be called in the PWM annex. This leads to hiding
generic parts of the driver which have nothing to do with the PWM in a
header file, which I don't think is wise. I prefer not to do it.

Thanks for your understanding,
Miquèl
