Allow the user to specify the consumer label as part of the request rather
than hard coding it to "pwm-cdev"?

Coarse grain locking of the whole of pwm for the duration, where some
calls my sleep, feels excessive. Is it really necessary for all of the
ioctls?

While you have added some documentation, this is still lacking compared
to the corresponding in include/linux/pwm.h.  e.g. zeroing
period_length_ns to disable a PWM...

A brief description of the ioctls and their semantics would be handy,
either here or as full blown documentation in
linux/Documentation/userspace-api/pwm/...

PWMs are automatically released when the pwmchip file is closed?
And the state of the PWM line after release (or _FREE) is indeterminate?

Is it possible that the underlying PWM chip be removed while the user has
the pwmchip open and/or has pwm devices requested?

Provide some ioctls to aid discoverability, e.g. for pwm chips exposing the
npwms, module name.  For pwm devices the label, if the PWM is requested and
the consumer's label (similar to the GPIO chipinfo and lineinfo)?
Unless that information otherwise exposed to userspace?

Cheers,
Kent.
