Perhaps a helper would be useful? Something like:

	static inline void
	pwm_apply_args(struct pwm_device *pwm, const struct pwm_args *args)
	{
		pwm_set_duty_cycle(pwm, args->duty_cycle);
		pwm_set_period(pwm, args->period);
	}

? That would make it slightly easier to get rid of it again after all
clients have been converted.

With the exception of pwm-clps711x all of these args are set at of_xlate
time (for DT) or from the lookup table in pwm_get() (for non-DT), so it
might even be possible to move this call to the core, so that removal of
it will be a one-liner.
