OK I'm not sure I understand what's going on, particularly the part about 
locking and unlocking.  Are you saying that the pwm_bl driver calls into 
the pwm_tiecap module to write to the PWMSS_CLKCONFIG registers to ungate 
the ECAP clock, and then the hardware silently ignores the write?  If 
that's the case, shouldn't we be seeing some warning messages from a 
failure to ungate the clock from a subsequent PWMSS_CLKSTATUS poll?  Or am 
I misunderstanding what's going on here?

OK

Including the comments regarding dra7xx_epwmss_sysc ?
