Thanks for doing this!

I understand the second warning, but not the first (reference from
pwmchip_add() to pcibios_fixup_bus()). I don't think pwmchip_add()
calls pcibios_fixup_bus(). Is the pwmchip_chip() function name
inexact, or is there some other problem here?

I did post patches to fix the pcibios_fixup_bus() implementations that
are incorrectly marked __init.
