Hi,

Allwinner's D1, T113-S3 and R329 SoCs have a new pwm
controller witch is different from the previous pwm-sun4i.

The D1 and T113 are identical in terms of peripherals,
they differ only in the architecture of the CPU core, and
even share the majority of their DT. Because of that,
using the same compatible makes sense.
The R329 is a different SoC though, and should have
a different compatible string added, especially as there
is a difference in the number of channels.

D1 and T113s SoCs have one PWM controller with 8 channels.
R329 SoC has two PWM controllers in both power domains, one of
them has 9 channels (CPUX one) and the other has 6 (CPUS one).

Add a device tree binding for them.

Do we really need to be so restrictive here? The IP has an
"architectural" limit of 16 channels (due to the MMIO register layout
and status/control bits usage in some registers), so can't we just leave
this value to be anything between 1 and 16 here? If people configure
this wrongly, it's their fault, I'd say? Without confining this further
based on the respective compatible strings this enum is less useful
anyway, I think. The Allwinner A523 uses the same IP, and supports all
16 channels, the V853 implements 12, that's what I quickly found
already, and there might be more examples in the future, so I'd rather
open this up.
Do we really need this property? I feel like the number of PWM channels should be
something the driver could infer from the compatible string as we are going to
have one compatible string per SoC anyway.

Can't we just simplify this by always requiring this property? As
mentioned, there will be more SoCs with different values, so just
omitting this for the D1 seems odd.
