ok.

I suggest

#define PWM_IMX_TPM_SC_CMOD GENMASK(1, 0)

instead. See include/linux/bitfield.h for details.
Also note that "TPM" isn't a great prefix given that we have:

$ git ls-files | grep -c tpm
82

. Even though PWM_IMX_TPM is longer I think it's worth the extra bytes.
Then if you use pwm_imx_tpm als prefix for your function it's obvious
that they all belong together. For extra credits also adapt the driver
name to match.

So the two channels have to share the period length? If so please note
this in the header of the driver like it was done in
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pwm/msg09149.html (search for
"Limitations"). You also need some logic to assert that setting the 2nd
channel doesn't modify the first (if the first is in use).

You could make it obvious which channels are shared and which have one
instance per pwm by doing:

#define PWM_IMX_TPM_C0SC(hwid) (0x20 + hwid * 4)

So you have to make sure that:

- if you disable one channel while the other is still running, just set
the duty cycle to zero to not interfere with the other
- if you enable one channel while the other is still off/unused, make
sure that other channel doesn't start to wiggle.

No, on suspend it's the responsibility of the backlight driver to
disable the pwm. Otherwise the PWM changes its behaviour without the
consumer's consent which depending on the purpose of the PWM is bad.
