I don't think there is a valuable benefit here. Yes, the three
structures are not used explicitly in the driver afterwards, but the
memory has to stay around to call clk_hw_unregister() when the device is
unregistered. So to hide these from struct meson_pwm_channel, we're not
saving any memory, but add the overhead of one additional devm_kzalloc
per PWM channel. For me the cost-benefit calculation is bad here.

Is it safe to use a single pdata instead of separate div_parent +
gate_parent below as before? That should be a separate change then (or
at least motivated in the commit log.)
