[RFC PATCH v1 15/20] pwm: Add capability for PWM Driver managed state

[lakshmi.sowjanya.d@xxxxxxxxx]

From: Christopher Hall <christopher.s.hall@xxxxxxxxx>

Add additional flag that can be set by drivers to indicate that the
driver will manage its own PWM state. When calling pwm_ops.apply the
driver applies the requested state change to the pwm_device reconciling,
if possible, any conflicting requests.

Intel(R) Timed I/O devices support very limited PWM capabilities. The
duty cycle must always be 50% of the period. When changing one parameter
at a time through the sysfs interface, it isn't possible for the user or
the PWM subsystem to maintain this relation.
