Thanks.

The idea is that the pwmchip_parent macro always returns the pwmchip's
parent. So when this patch gets applied, we have

        +static inline struct device *pwmchip_parent(struct pwm_chip *chip)
        {
               return chip->dev;
        }

and when the pwmchip gets its own struct device, it is adapted to return
chip->dev.parent (and not &chip->dev). See patches #3 and #109.

Best regards
Uwe
