Yes, although it would be better to expose the PWM DMA interface through a
PWM class and then implement an ALSA driver on top of this rather than
just hacking in a Pi specific pwm driver...

Mostly because I want to write a different driver that uses the PWM DMA
interface on the Pi but it seems wrong to do this without having a common
PWM_DMA interface
