Using runtime PM for this sounds indeed like the most generic approach.
I'm not very familiar with the API, but I thought it required explicit
architecture or bus support (or the driver itself can provide hooks via
pm_ops), so it might be difficult to implement for platforms that don't
have working runtime PM support. I'll have to look into this some more.

Anyway, if we add this kind of support to the PWM core we should take it
through next first. For drivers that are currently broken, they should
be, as you said, fixed by enabling the clock before reconfiguring and
disable it after (unless the PWM is enabled) like Tegra does.
