Agreed. You can just deassert the reset at probe time. That shouldn't
interfere with a PWM that is already producing an output.

I think you're saying reset can be a required property, to be
harmlessly deasserted at probe time? Yixun was suggesting it
should not be required, because it might already be deasserted.

Anyway, I don't feel strongly either way. Maybe the DTS
maintainers can recommend what to do.
