pwm-cells should be at least 2 to provide channel number and period value.

What's the new cell? channel? Does the PXA PWM have more than one 
channel? If not, then you shouldn't add a cell.

The new cell had to be period, to have a generic OF function in the kernel,
to parse the pwms bindings for all PWMs, something like
pwms=<pwm channel-number pwm-period>. After several discussions on this
series, I found that old DT binaries must be compatible with latest kernel
version and this series doesn't guarantee this. So I will drop this change
in next version.

Thank you,
