This fixes a race condition: After pwmchip_add() is called there might
already be a consumer and then modifying the hardware behind the
consumer's back is bad. So reset before calling pwmchip_add().
Note that reseting the hardware isn't the right thing to do if the PWM
is already running as it might e.g. disable (or even enable) a backlight
that is supposed to be on (or off).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
