This seems like a reasonable plan for resolving the boot error. The
alternative I can see would be to drop our pwm pinmux setup, in the
absence of any consumer of pwm trying to use it for some specific
purpose.

(Some day it would be nice to have an analog audio driver using pwm on
these pins, but I'm not volunteering to write that code either)
