As was recently discussed elsewhere, it should really be up to the
consumer of PWMs to reinitialize the PWM on resume. However, this is a
preexisting condition, so let's do it in a follow-up.

Do you have any cases where you really rely on this? Resume ordering
does not guarantee that the PWM and consumer will be resumed in the
right order, so you may be enabling the PWM too soon, or too late, by
doing this in the PWM driver.

There are patches in the works to help with this using device links, but
I think even with those there will be cases where the consumer will want
to directly control when the PWM is restored, so you should consider
moving the driver away from implementing suspend/resume itself.

It'd be interesting to hear if there any cases where things break if you
simply remove these PM callbacks. If so we should investigate and fix
them so that these can be removed.
