My editor shows a tab between pwm_chip and chip. This should really be a
space.

I think in order to fix the potential race condition that Viresh
mentioned we should move the clk_prepare_enable() before the
pwmchip_add(), but don't forget to disable and unprepare the clock if
pwmchip_add() fails.

Actually, can't we make it a clk_prepare() only at this point and move
the clk_enable() and clk_disable() into the if block below? In case the
compatible value is not "st,spear1340-pwm" we don't need the clock
enabled.

Oh, and a spurious newline here... =)

This can go into the if block to match the clk_enable().
