Won't this try to unregister the clk_hw before the pwm_clk derived from
it? You could place this in a devres action to correct the cleanup
order and get rid of the duplicated cleanup in h616_pwm_remove().

I think you could even use devm_pwmchip_add() and
devm_reset_control_get_shared_deasserted() and remove h616_pwm_remove
entirely.
