You don't need to touch all drivers because you didn't change struct
pwm_chip::dev yet. (If you really want, you don't need to change that,
but then you have some duplication as chip->dev holds the same value as
priv->dev.parent in the end.)

Nearly all drivers need driver private data. Isn't it a nice service by
the pwm core to make handling this private data easier for the lowlevel
drivers?

That's an unrelated change.

With my approach getting the chip of a struct pwm_device is only one
pointer dereference away. You need two.

Oh, so you don't use one additional allocation but two.

With my approach the struct pwm_chip * pointer isn't needed because it's
all in one structure. So you have two structures where I only have one
and your two are bigger in sum than my single one (not counting memory
management overhead and alignment).

One more pointer dereference than before. You could trade that for some
data duplication by copying npwm to struct pwmchip_priv for the case
when you need .npwm but the chip is already gone.

The TL;DR; is essentially what I already wrote in my last reply to Bart
in the v3 thread[1]:
- My approach needs more changes to the individual drivers (which I
don't consider a relevant disadvantage given that the resulting code
is better);
- My approach works with less pointer dereferences which IMHO also
simplifies understanding the code as all relevant data is in a single
place.
- My approach has a weaker separation between the core and the lowlevel
drivers. That's ok in my book given that this doesn't complicate the
lowlevel drivers and that hiding details considerably better doesn't
work anyhow (see the drivers that need internal.h in your patch).
For me the single allocation issue is only an added bonus. The relevant
advantage of my approach is that the code is easier and (probably) more
efficient.
Best regards
