Don't worry, a review is here to point where things could be better,
which doesn't mean that you did wrong :)

Don't worry about that either. We have a good number of platforms
using the PWMs already. If there's something broken at some point,
we'll catch it as well.

Yes, this really should cover what you're trying to do here,
especially reg_field.

You can have a look at drivers/reset/sti/reset-syscfg.c if you want to
have a look at a rather simple driver using it.
