Note that we have two atmel pwm drivers: drivers/misc/atmel_pwm.c 
and drivers/pwm/pwm-atmel.c. If you want to take that as an example,
make sure you use base on the latter.

If there is just one set of registers, I wouldn't object to
having just a single node in DT, and just one driver that registers
to both the clocksource and the PWM interfaces. That might
simplify the code.

This seems fine, too.
