Tested-by: Damon Ding <damon.ding at rock-chips.com>

I have tested all the PWM channels in continuous mode on my 
RK3576-IOTEST board.

Test commands are like:

cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/
echo 0 > export
cd pwm0
echo 10000 > period
echo 5000 > duty_cycle
echo normal > polarity
echo 1 > enable

In addition, the patch related to DTS are attached.

Best regards,
Damon
