We're renaming the 'st,pwm-num-chan' binding to 'st,pwm-num-devs' to be more inline with the naming conventions of the subsystem. Where we used to treat each line as a channel, the PWM convention is to describe them as devices.That's all linux implementation details and you are breaking compatibility.
While it's true that the API calls channels struct pwm_device, that's primarily for historical reasons. It's completely fine, and in fact most drivers already do exactly that, to internally refer to channels as channels.
