Please don't include that file, <linux/platform_device.h> should pull in
the things you need from that file.

If you make this:

	#define MA35D1_PWM_WGCTL_ACTION(ch)		GENMASK(2 * (ch) + 2, 2 * (ch))
	#define MA35D1_PWM_WGCTL_ACTION_LOW		1
	#define MA35D1_PWM_WGCTL_ACTION_HIGH		2

you can drop the static inlines below.

This is irritating with similar names and different values/semantic.

This clobbers what the hardware is doing. The idea here is to not modify
the hardware settings at probe time to keep e.g. a backlight configured
as it was setup by the bootloader and only modify on explicit calls to
.apply().
