Add additional flag that can be set by drivers to indicate that the
driver will manage its own PWM state. When calling pwm_ops.apply the
driver applies the requested state change to the pwm_device reconciling,
if possible, any conflicting requests.

Intel(R) Timed I/O devices support very limited PWM capabilities. The
duty cycle must always be 50% of the period. When changing one parameter
at a time through the sysfs interface, it isn't possible for the user or
the PWM subsystem to maintain this relation.

These PWM changes clearly need to be reviewed by the PWM
subsystem maintainers, and I think all of the output generation
portions of this really need to go into the PWM subsystem.
