Subject: [PATCH] pwm: rz-mtu3: Share parent device node to MTU3 PWM

The PWM currently functions, however if we try to utilise the pwn in a
device tree, for example as a pwm-backlight:

        lcd_bl: backlight {
                compatible = "pwm-backlight";
                pwms = <&mtu3 3 833333>;
		...

This fails:

[   15.603948] platform backlight: deferred probe pending: pwm-backlight: unable to request PWM

The PWM driver forms part of the Renesas Multi-Function Timer Pulse Unit
3. The PWM does not have a DT node of it's own. Share the DT node of the
parent MFD device, so that the PWM channels can be referenced via phandles.
