I wonder how far are you from a generic pwm-of-timer.c. This looks
pretty close to that. You already have a pdata function pointers for
pretty much everything, all you need to do is pass a timer phandle and,
as long as the functions pointers are implemented, it should work.

You might want to get rid of pdata altogether at some point, this should
work as migration path.
