I think enabling pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() for pwm,
adding a flag for pwm_enabled, and blocking cpu_pm if
pwm_enabled is set might do the trick though. Then clear
pwm_enabled flag in runtime_suspend if set.

This depend on cpuidle respecting NOTIFY_BAD that I
fixed in the recent thread:

[PATCH 0/3] Block idle in gpio-omap with cpu_pm
