This is a good catch; it was an error on my side.
The purpose of the patch was to setup the output of the
PWM clock to the default CLK_PERIPH value (13325000).

This change does not modify the HCLKDIV or the PERIPH clock.

I can submit a version 2 with the proper value and update
the patch description to list the default peripheral clock
setup of 13MHz.

This change is adding a default value for the PWM clock
(setup to CLK_PERIPH) to the PWM device node, allowing the
board specific DTS to only enable the PWM to get it work.

If the PWM clock output is not setup with a default value,
only enabling the PWM in the board specific DTS file is not
enough; the PWM divider will keep the default value of zero
(i.e. PWM clock off).
