Prefix those function as deprecated to encourage all existing users to
switch to pwm_apply_state().

Why not keep at least some of them as wrappers where we do not need to
chnage several parameters at once? It is much easier to have a driver
do:

	error = pwm_enable(pwm);
	if (error)
		...

rather than declaring the state variable, fectch it, adjust and then
apply.

True. Actually deprecating the non-atomic API was not my primary goal.
Thierry would you mind if we keep both APIs around?

I'm fine with keeping these around, though purely as shortcuts. If users
need to modify two parameters at once (e.g. duty cycle and enable) then
they should be converted to use the atomic API, otherwise there'd be
little point in introduce it.
