The owner member of struct pwm_ops must be set to THIS_MODULE to
increase the reference count of the module such that the module cannot
be removed while its code is in use.

Assuming you will send another PR to Linus for 5.4 with the revert of
01ccf903edd65f6421612321648fa5a7f4b7cb10 I suggest to add this patch,
too.

Best regards
Uwe
