We usually do not describe 'status', but if your device node used
"pinctrl-$n", "pinctrl-names" ... common properties, yes, you should
describe them to let users know what is the purpose of these
properties. That's also asked by DT maintainer Rob.

On some Spreadtrum platforms, the default source clock of PWM may not
be enabled, so we should force users to select one available source
clock for PWM output clock.
