I would rewrite the commit log to:

pwm: Remove redundant check in pwm_ops_check()

ops->write_waveform is already known to be non-NULL so there is
no need to check it a second time.

The superflous check was introduced in commit 17e40c25158f
("pwm: New abstraction for PWM waveforms").

Signed-off-by: Ben Zong-You Xie <ben717@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

to make the change more clear and also to not bother the stable team
with backporting the commit to stable.

Please confirm if you're ok with this change, then I cope for the update
while applying your change.

Best regards
Uwe
