Hi ,Uwe and Jerom.
Compared with m8b g12a and sm1, s4 and A1 are new pwm ip that moved 
MUX/DIV/GATE from pwm chip to clock tree module and the pwm block are same.
About new s7,compared with s4,one pwmchip corresponds one pwm channel. 
Like,we separate PWMAB into PWMA and PWMB.
Here is a version from Amlogic. We will start the following work of pwm 
driver. Welcom to give comments.

Best regards
