These two bindings are special snow-flakes and the only drivers that
have #pwm-cells = <1>. Most other bindings use 3 and since commit
895fe4537cc8 ("pwm: Add upgrade path to #pwm-cells = <3> for users of
of_pwm_single_xlate()") (which was created for the pxa driver) the pxa
driver also supports 3 cells. The cros-ec driver even has comment about
that being ugly. 

I intend to convert all bindings to use 3 soon.

While that isn't necessary for each individual piece of hardware to
provide 3 values, having a uniform binding for PWMs provides a nice user
experience and also simplifies matters with nexus nodes (see
e71e46a6f19c ("pwm: Add support for pwm nexus dt bindings")).

Best regards
Uwe
