[PATCH] pwm: gpio: unregister the chip on driver unbind

[Yu Zhang]

pwm_gpio_probe() registers the chip with pwmchip_add(), but the driver
has neither a remove callback nor a devm action calling
pwmchip_remove(). On unbind the devres callbacks release the GPIO
descriptor, cancel the hrtimer and drop the reference taken by
devm_pwmchip_alloc(), while the chip stays registered: it is still in
the pwm_chips idr, its sysfs attributes and character device are still
there and chip->operational is still true.

The chip can therefore still be reached through sysfs export, the
character device, debugfs and pwm_get() from a consumer. Those paths
call into chip->ops, which point into unloaded module text once the
module is gone, and pwm_gpio_apply() re-arms the cancelled hrtimer and
drives a GPIO descriptor the driver no longer owns.

Use devm_pwmchip_add() so that the chip is removed before the hrtimer
is cancelled and the GPIO is released.
