Hi Gwendal,

Thanks for the review.

Good idea, done. I'll also change the 'pwm_device' arg into just a u8
index, since that's all we care about at this level of abstraction.

Sure, can do. I guess an anonymous struct will do well here.

Sure.

Will do. Here, I guess an anonymous struct containing a union of
ec_{params,response}_pwm_get_duty will do it.

Sure.

Correct. I think that's just how many OF-based drivers tend to work;
they might *compile* with !CONFIG_OF, but all the useful functions will
return errors, and the probe will fail quickly. Anyway, for this
particular case (max-pwms), I think we've figured out we can possibly
discover this dynamically, so I might drop this property.

The bigger problem here is that we're doing PWM device
instantiation/matching through the use of OF-based translation (see the
->of_xlate and ->of_pwm_n_cells above). So if you're thinking about
using this driver as-is on non-DT platforms, you aren't going to get
very far :) Apparently there is some provision for this (see struct
pwm_lookup / PWM_LOOKUP()), but I haven't really analyzed how we could
adapt this for a cros_ec, non-DT system.
