Ah, I didn't look carefully enough for this judgement. My (wrong)
expectation was, that the containing device creates a platform-device
with .parent=$self and then drivers/pwm/pwm-lpss-platform.c does all the
necessary stuff automatically.

Hmm, I can live with that, so I drop this concern.

Best regards
