I guess not. However, tracking clock enable/disable per PWM signal
complicates the code. We'd need to balance enables with matching
disables in the .remove callback. I'd prefer to leave that as room for
future optimization.

According to Uwe pwmchip_remove() must precede clock disable:

How is that related to per PWM signal clock handling?
