For anyone interested, I committed a new [3.2] branch for the
https://github.com/scottellis/omap3-pwmhttp:// omap3-pwm  driver.

MiLo see commit 85360a417

Still testing, but it at least loads and runs again on 3.2 kernels. I
haven't tested the change against older kernels so I'm keeping it in a
separate branch.

There is another new issue on the 3.2 systems with unloading and reloading
the driver. This doesn't work any more if you use one of the timers while
the driver is loaded. That particular timer won't load again.

This is really only a problem during development since you'll likely only
load the driver once on boot.

When I get a chance I'll take a closer look at the unload/reload problem.

It looks like its all PM related kernel changes.
