This adds an optional enable gpio to the pwm-beeper device. This gpio is
used in cases where the beeper needs to be switched on before using it.

Isn't it a property of pin muxing?

You may want to turn if off when not making a sound to save power.



For
example, there may be an amplifier that is not always powered on.

This looks like GPIO based fixed voltage regulator.


Yes, I think a regulator could work here just as well.



Tested on LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, which has a speaker connected to PWM through
an amplifier. The amplifier has an enable pin that is connected to a gpio.
