I'm seeing an issue with this patch where after use something is
left on and power consumption stays higher by about 30 mW after
use.

I can reproduce this easily on droid4 with Sebastian's rumble-test
app[0]. After use, I sometimes also hear the vibrator keep chirping
quietly, so there seems to be some pwm still happening after disable :)

Reloading modules for pwm-vibra and pwm-omap-dmtimer make the power
consumption go back down again.

If you have a scope set up, maybe check the lines are quiet after
disable after this patch?

Regards,

Tony
