this looks like a patch from the vendor tree.

Could you please provide a link to the origin or at least to the
document which describes TKT0577206?

As a i.MX6ULL user i couldn't find this issue in the chip errata. So are
you sure that every PWM IP handled by this driver is affected?

This touches a different workaround ("pwm: imx: Avoid sample FIFO
overflow for i.MX PWM version2") without any explanation.

This is hard to believe that checkpatch.pl is fine with this patch.
Please use it before submission.

This line looks unrelated and unnecessary.
