Series pwm: Improve lifetime tracking for pwm_chips | expand

This function allocates a struct pwm_chip and driver data. Compared to
the status quo the split into pwm_chip and driver data is new, otherwise
it doesn't change anything relevant (yet).

The intention is that after all drivers are switched to use this
allocation function, its possible to add a struct device to struct
pwm_chip to properly track the latter's lifetime without touching all
drivers again. Proper lifetime tracking is a necessary precondition to
introduce character device support for PWMs (that implements atomic
setting and doesn't suffer from the sysfs overhead of the /sys/class/pwm
userspace support).

The new function pwmchip_priv() (obviously?) only works for chips
allocated with devm_pwmchip_alloc().

I think this looks good.  Two questions:
- Should you explicitly align the private data?  Or do you believe
   the default alignment (currently pointer size aligned) is adequate?
- Is there a non-devres version of the allocation function?

I'm not aware of a requirement for a higher order alignment (but I might
well miss something). I did my tests on arm, nothing exploded there.
Maybe the conservative approach of asserting the same alignment as
kmalloc would be a good idea. I'll think and research about that.

iio uses ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, net uses 32 (NETDEV_ALIGN).

Patch #109 introduces a non-devres variant. As it's not used it's a
static function though. Can easily be changed is a use case pops up.

Best regards
Uwe
