I don't see any trace of pwm/lpss in dmesg, so it's normal that i915 fails
to find it. I wonder if there may be a problem in the ACPI table. I have
the DSDT and it clearly reports the:

Name (_CID, "80860F09")  // _CID: Compatible ID
Name (_DDN, "Intel(R) PWM Controller #2 - 80860F09")  // _DDN: DOS Device Name

Which should be the lpss pwm. But somehow it is not loaded, so I guess it
fails the probing.

Maybe the DSDT is broken, and I should fix and recompile a new one for the
pwm controller to work? I don't really know how this things work, and
whether the kernel should report anything special if it were the case of a
broken DSDT.

Regards,
Lluḉis.
