[PATCH 0/8] pwm: Drop local locking in several drivers

["Uwe Kleine-König" <u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com>]

Hello,

some time ago the pwm core implemented additional locking to protect
lowlevel driver callbacks against driver removal. A side effect is that
.apply() and .get_state() are serialized. This allows to drop some
locking that is now superfluous due to the core's locking.

I identified a few drivers that are affected; these are cleaned up
accordingly here.

Best regards
Uwe
