Check whether bank's default counter is already used. If it's used then
try to find and check other counter. If it also being used that mean both,
counter A and counter B, already assigned to some PWM device so
return EBUSY.

mvpwm is declared and initialized as:
struct mvebu_pwm *mvpwm = to_mvebu_pwm(chip);
so it's not an uninitialized variable.
pwm->chip_data is set when the pwm use counter other then default.
pwm->chip_data take precedence over to_mvebu_pwm(chip).

After looked at other PWM driver, i think i should use pwm_set_chip_data()
and pwm_get_chip_data() instead of directly access pwm->chip_data.

Now i think it would be better if i use
struct mvebu_pwm *mvpwm = pwm_get_chip_data(pwm);
and pwm_set_chip_data() would be called during mvebu_pwm_probe() to
set the data to bank's default counter.
