Each PWM channel has it's own pinctrl.
Not all channel pins are always in use for PWM exclusively.
Your proposal would not allow pins to be used for other functions.
More ideas with this interrupt? Please advise.

The SoCs PWM are configurable to operate in continuous mode (default mainline) or one-shot mode or capture mode.
Is there any good example for one-shot mode interrupt use?
