No not at all, right now I have aligned all existing pwm drivers in ARM to make use of the pwm core driver.
But faced difficulty in aligning the mips-jz4740 pwm driver, without having much knowledge about the device/data sheet.
Hence I have let it to the maintainer of that driver to align and thereafter this limitation will be removed.
Have also comments the same as TODO in the driver.

Since by default this driver is enabled, and if there is some other pwm driver enabled, both happen to export the same function(pwm_enable/pwm_disable,..) After applying the first patch build may fail.
