NXP LPC32xx SoCs have two simple independent PWM controllers with a single
output each, in this case there is no need to specify PWM channel argument
on client side, one cell for setting PWM output frequency is sufficient.

Another added to the description property 'clocks' has a standard meaning
of a controller supply clock, in the LPC32xx User's Manual the clock is
denoted as PWM1_CLK or PWM2_CLK clock.

This use of the cell is a bit odd as the period is s/w config and this 
would typically be a channel selection or such.

What if I want user specified/changed periods?

Can you provide feedback; I think your questions were answered

Yes. Sorry for the delay. It's best to resend if you want to be sure I see it.
