I was proposing to have pwm_apply_args() called from the core.
of_pwm_get() is where ->of_xlate() is called from, and the lookup table
arguments would be applied in pwm_get(). Taking into account clps711x,
which sets the arguments in ->request() it might be possible to simply
call pwm_apply_args() from pwm_device_request(), since that's also
called by all other request functions, even the legacy ones.
That said, the amount of code to modify isn't that large, so I'm fine if
you want to keep sprinkling the calls across multiple files, especially
since it's temporary.
