Actually you don't have to fall back to "/sys/class/pwm/pwmchipX" just
keep moving down the path:
"/sys/devices/platform/ocp/48300000.epwmss/48300200.pwm/pwm/pwmchip*/<here>"

PS, borrow what you can from this project, it's a python project with
c files doing the low level.

https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/blob/master/source/c_pwm.c

and just watch out for the

pwmchip0/pwm1 -> pwmchip0/pwm-0:1

that occurs in all our v4.11.x+ kernels and some of the newest
"v4.9.x" based kernels..  (it was done so udev would work on giving
the normal user permissions)..
