To me it needs to represent what services/interfaces/facilities are used by 
this driver that are
provided by the Linux kernel.  If it uses Linux GPIO services, then it should 
say GPIO --
although I don't see it using any Linux GPIO services.

Since <linux/pwm.h> provides stubs for when CONFIG_PWM is not enabled,
it appears that "depends on  PWM" is not required.

I'll leave it up to you. I was just trying to understand better.
It may be that no changes are needed.
