The problems found by Sashiko are real, but they are pre-existing.
The locking issues are pre-existing, and data->pwm_separate is for
all practical purposes always false (there is no upstream user of
the platform data, so it may well be removed), meaning there is no
separation of pwm channels if the thermal subsystem is enabled.
Given that, applied.

Thanks,
