Yep, that's a different problem which could be addressed by implementing ->get_state(). Note that you don't necessary want to disable the PWM at boot time, in some situation, when the PWM is driving a critical device (like the VDDIODDR regulator), you want the transition between the bootloader/firmware and Linux to be as smooth as possible. Actually, 'initial state retrieval' and 'atomic changes' were added to handle this case. Stefan, one last thing, can you apply patch 2 alone and check if it doesn't introduce a regression?
