Hi Remi,

here are my comments before you submit a new version of the devicetree 
changes.

Please take care of the order. All nodes should be ordered by register 
address.

According to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm-bcm2835.txt there 
is no need for address-cells and size-cells, but it misses pwm-cells.

Additionally it would be necessary to disable the status.

Best regards
