It's required to not free the memory underlying a requested PWM while a consumer still has a reference to it. While currently a pwm_chip doesn't live long enough in all cases, linking the struct pwm to the pwm_chip results in the right lifetime as soon as the pwmchip is living long enough. This happens with the following commits. Note this is a breaking change for all pwm drivers that don't use pwmchip_alloc(). Reviewed-by: Gustavo A. R.

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 reStructuredText 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.
