There are no variables named "pwm" or "pc".

The intention is fine, but you missed a few instances that are named
"vt8500". The statistic in mainline looks as follows:

	$ git grep -o -h -E 'struct vt8500_chip \*[a-zA-Z0-9_]*' linus/master drivers/pwm/pwm-vt8500.c | sort | uniq -c
	      2 struct vt8500_chip *chip
	      5 struct vt8500_chip *vt8500

(So there 2 variabled named "chip" (that you renamed to "pc") and 5 that
are named "vt8500". I prefer to rename the "chip"s to "vt8500".

Best regards
Uwe
