I think this was lost during the earlier conversation we had on the
split of these patches. Krzysztof had pointed out that tegra194-pwm is
now a duplicate entry. I don't know exactly how it ended up like this,
but I'm pretty sure what I meant was:

	- items:
	    - const: tegra264-pwm
	    - const: tegra194-pwm

This mirrors the fact that this is in fact backwards-compatible with
Tegra194 but also has additional features that we need the Tegra264
compatible string for.

Krzysztof also requested that we drop the latter part of, or reword, the
commit message because we always want the compatible string to be added,
regardless of backwards-compatibility, etc.

So I think maybe something like this would be better for the commit
message:

  The PWM controller found on Tegra264 is largely compatible with the one
  on prior generations, but it comes with some extra features. The new
  Tegra264-specific compatible string can be used to distinguish between
  the feature sets.
