Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation: Reflect the changes to pwm sysfs

From: Lars Poeschel <poeschel@...onage.de>

This is an update to the documentation to reflect the change to pwm
sysfs.

/sys/class/pwm/pwmchipN/pwmX style exports are marked as deprecated.
They are still available as symlinks to the new interface.
New exports are available as /sys/class/pwm/pwm-N-X
