Allowing empty driver_data would save us from adding dummy info
for single instance devices in the future.

Considering above, we're looking at something like this.

static int dwc_pwm_init_one(struct device *dev, void __iomem *base, unsigned int size)
{
        struct dwc_pwm *dwc;

        dwc = dwc_pwm_alloc(dev);
        if (!dwc)
                return -ENOMEM;

        dwc->base = base + size;

        return devm_pwmchip_add(dev, &dwc->chip);
}

	...

        if (info) {
                for (i = 0; i < info->nr; i++) {
                        ret = dwc_pwm_init_one(dev, base, i * info->size);
                        if (ret)
                                return ret;
                }
        } else {
                ret = dwc_pwm_init_one(dev, base, 0);
                if (ret)
                        return ret;
        }
	...
