IMHO a PWM should not stop if the PWM user didn't call pwm_disable() (or
pwm_apply_state() with .enabled = false).

I don't understand all the PM details, but I think there is no defined
order in which devices are signalled to suspend. If so the PWM might be
stopped before its consumer. Then the PWM changes state without the
consumer being aware of that.

I understand Thierry's position in the link you provided in the commit
log consistant with my position here.

Best regards
Uwe
