I eyeballed this a little, and noticed:

drivers/acpi/acpi_lpss.c:

static struct pwm_lookup bsw_pwm_lookup[] = {
	PWM_LOOKUP_WITH_MODULE("80862288:00", 0, "0000:00:02.0",
			       "pwm_backlight", 0, PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL,
			       "pwm-lpss-platform"),
};

drivers/mfd/intel_soc_pmic_core.c:

static struct pwm_lookup crc_pwm_lookup[] = {
	PWM_LOOKUP("crystal_cove_pwm", 0, "0000:00:02.0", "pwm_backlight", 0, PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL),
};

Should crc_pwm_lookup also use PWM_LOOKUP_WITH_MODULE? And which module
exactly? pwm_get() does an automatic request_module(), if the module is
given.

And will this still be enough?

BR,
Jani.
