Subject: [PATCH] PWM: atmel-pwm: use request/free instead of enable/disable

I found that disabling a pwm while it is at a low level will actually put it
back at a high level. The main symptom is that leds-pwm is calling pwm_disable()
after setting the duty cycle to 0. Hence, instead of getting a switched off LED,
you get an LED lit up at full brightness.

Solve that by using the request and free callbacks to enable and disable the
pwm channels and the clock.

This will cause pwmadd_chip failure.

Code from <drivers/pwm/core.c>, in function: pwmadd_chip()
---8>---
if (!chip || !chip->dev || !chip->ops || !chip->ops->config ||
!chip->ops->enable || !chip->ops->disable)
return -EINVAL;

You are right, I tested with dummy pwm_enable/pwm_disable functions and
removed them before sending the patch, thinking they weren't needed.
I'll respin that patch.
