We did? This is fine for me. However, "plus one of the above" is not 
clear. That means either is valid? If all are "the same" I would expect 
that only nvidia,tegra20-pwm is the fallback. I'm guessing this is 
docuemnting what happened in practice though. Probably should update the 
doc and dts files to reflect desired practice rather than what may be in 
the wild.

Yes, that sounds like something I would have said.
