Up to now the .probe() function didn't enable clocks and relied on the core to call the .get_state() callback to have the clock running. The latter enabled the needed clocks and kept them running if the PWM wass enabled. This only works correctly if the .get_state() callback is called exactly once and this single call happens before unused clocks are disabled by the clk core. The former wasn't true for a short period while commit01ccf903ed("pwm: Let pwm_get_state() return the last implemented state") applied and not reverted yet and might become wrong in the future. The latter isn't true any more since commitcfc4c189bc("pwm: Read initial hardware state at request time") which results in a running PWM being stopped at boot time if for example the consumer lives in a kernel module that is only loaded after the clk core disabled unused clocks. So ensure .probe() is left with the clocks on if the PWM is running and .get_state() disables everything it enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
