This idea is broken. This was recently discussed on the linux-pwm list
and I hope will be fixed soon. See
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pwm/20230228093911.bh2sbp4tyfir2z5g@pengutronix.de/T/#meda75ffbd4ef2048991ea2cd091c0c14b1bb09c2

So this patch won't be accepted, still pointing out a style problem
below.

Wrong commenting style, please stick to C-style comments (/* ... */)
