I think there is a misunderstanding about the type of pattern here. Do
we talk about a shell pattern where "[0-9a-f]*" matches a name starting
with a hex digit followed by any number of any caracter, or is it a
regexp where the * means "any number of the preceding pattern", so
effectively a word consisting of only hex digits.

The .* part makes me think we're talking about a regexp, so the old
pattern ("^pwm(@.*|-[0-9a-f])*$") means that

	pwm-1-2-3-4

is allowed but

	pwm-10

isn't. And I think what we want is:

	"^pwm(@.*|-[0-9a-f]*)$"

(or maybe better "^pwm(@.+|-[0-9a-f]+)$" ?)

Best regards
Uwe
