Note this is something where (I think) I don't agree with Thierry
either. This popped up just yesterday, see
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pwm/msg13290.html
For sure I want at most one such function per driver, so if we really
want to go this path and introduce a capability indicator, this should
be named differently and have a different prototype.

That's good.
