In my book a pwm driver should never call pwm_get_state() (or its
wrappers).

I looked at the other drivers for similar problems. I found a few
issues, but they are all independently of cfc4c189bc70:

 - pwm-lpc18xx-sct.c does some allocation that the .request
   callback depends on. pwm-sti.c does allocation that the irq handler
   depends on quite late.
 - some drivers modify the hardware after pwmchip_add()
   [pwm-fsl-ftm.c, pwm-hibvt.c, pwm-lpc18xx-sct.c, pwm-lpc32xx.c,
   pwm-mtk-disp.c, pwm-mxs.c]
 - pwm-lpss.c, pwm-pca9685.c, pwm-tiehrpwm.c and cpwm-tiecap.c do some
   pm_runtime stuff which should better be done before pwmchip_add()?

Best regards
Uwe
