Hello,

just a few minor things left to criticize, see below.

Can you really compile this driver if HAVE_CLK isn't available?

 - The clk API doesn't expose the necessary calls to implement
   .get_state().

I'd prefer this was not called chip, as this is how struct pwm_chip
variables are called usually. My suggestion is:

	chip -> pcchip
	pwm_chip -> chip
