And a single controller, or several of them?

Yep, that would be better. If it's just a matter of channels, maybe we
can even name them pwm-ch0-pin and pwm-ch1-pin? That would be more
explicit.

If there's no users, no.

It depends if that PWM is used as a PWM all the time (for example to
drive a backlight for a panel tied to the board), or if it's exported
through one of the generic pin headers, please leave it populated but
disabled (with a comment that it is exported on one of the pin of the
headers)

Thanks!
