Thanks! Since the pwm API does not give any guarantees that
pwm_enable/disable may be called from atomic context, I think this
change is correct. The PWM documentation says:

   "Currently the PWM core does not enforce any locking to pwm_enable(),
    pwm_disable() and pwm_config(), so the calling context is currently
    driver specific. This is an issue derived from the former barebone
    API and should be fixed soon."

clk_enable should support reentrancy, but calling clk_prepare_enable
inside a clk_enable callback is not going to work.

regards
Philipp
