But there may be cases where a device pin is used as GPIO *and* as pwm output. Think of a relay output driver which may be used a state GPIO to indicate that the device is up, or as a pulsed heartbeat output (some safety schemes require that) for the
same purpose, selected by a run-time (not device tree!) config option.
I actually do exactly this with one of the Freescale 5200's pins, and would therefore also appreciate a "unified" approach.
Cheers, Albrecht.
