I think there's an easier way to do this, by not focusing _too_ much
on the device tree:

* Define a platform_data structure for the PWM driver, which contains
readl/writel accessors as well as the device type (i.e. what you use
the compatible field and the lookup table for today).
* Populate the platform_device in the clcd driver, and register that
* Make the PWM driver probe as a regular platform device if pdata is passed
* Make a readl/writel wrapper that either falls back to native
readl/writel when there aren't any passed in, or make the DT code fill
in the pdata with the native versions in that case.

Going full MFD on this seems overkill, unless there is also a shared
interrupt that needs to be handled.
