Off the top of my head I'd expect PWM to be a separate thing which could
optionally synthesize stuff onto an IIO device (bitbanging the PWM
essentially). The specialized PWM stuff tends to be "output this steady
state for an indefinite period" type interface rather than "here's a
batch of samples, output them".
