Hi Ralph

>From Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm.txt:

        pwm-list ::= <single-pwm> [pwm-list]
        single-pwm ::= <pwm-phandle> <pwm-specifier>
        pwm-phandle : phandle to PWM controller node
        pwm-specifier : array of #pwm-cells specifying the given PWM
                        (controller specific)

Our pwm-list has a single single-pwm.
phandle is &gpio0.
The remaining parts are the specifier, or which there should be #pwm-calls.

>From Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm.txt again:

pwm-specifier typically encodes the chip-relative PWM number and the PWM
period in nanoseconds.

Optionally, the pwm-specifier can encode a number of flags (defined in
<dt-bindings/pwm/pwm.h>) in a third cell:
- PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED: invert the PWM signal polarity

So we are using the 24th PWM and 4000 nanosecod period. We don't want
any flags.

So

pwms = <&gpio0 24 4000>;  

has a phandle, and then 2 cells.
