Subject: [PATCH] pwm: lp3943: Dynamically allocate pwm chip base

When there are other pwm controllers enabled along with pwm-lp3943,
pwm-lp3942 is failing to probe with -EEXIST error. This is because
other pwm controller is probed first and assigned pwmchip 0 and
pwm-lp3943 is requesting for 0 again. In order to avoid this, assign the
chip base with -1, so that id is dynamically allocated.

Fixes: af66b3c0934e ("pwm: Add LP3943 PWM driver")
