Why not doing this slightly differently?

First option: Always provide driver data (info is never NULL).

Second option, have the body of the for-loop be factored to a helper
dwc_pwm_init_one() and here

	if (!info)
		return dwc_pwm_init_one(..., 1, 0);

	for (i = 0; i < info->nr; i++) {
		ret = dwc_pwm_init_one(...);
		if (ret)
			return ret;
	}
