I would like to get this right but it occurred to me that there may be
a way to defer the implementation of this feature without disrupting
the binding.
Would it be acceptable to continue using #pwm-cells = <3> and
of_pwm_xlate_with_flags but return -EINVAL from kona_pwmc_set_polarity
if PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED is specified?
