MediaTek SoCs have got two different PWM IPs, one of which is used exclusively
for the Display PWM, and it is located in the DDP block.

So, there are two PWM IPs in one SoC:
  - A general purpose PWM IP
  - A DDP PWM IP

This driver is for the general purpose PWM IP.. so, please, can we change this
to "MediaTek general purpose Pulse Width Modulator driver"?

After which,
