Commit e39c0df1be5a ("pwm: Introduce the pwm_args concept"), moved the
period and polarity initialization steps into pwm_request_device() (called
by pwm_request_from_chip()) based on the pwm->args information.
Make sure we fill pwm->args fields before calling pwm_request_from_chip().

Mika,

Can you test after applying this patch and let me know if it fixes your
bug.

Thanks,

Boris

Can't do that, because now you're dereferencing an uninitialized
pointer.

Same here.

And here.

Yes, forget this patch, it's not needed anyway since all PWM users are
now directly calling pwm_apply_args() after requesting the PWM. The bad
news is I broke bisectibilty :-(.

Still does not explain the bug reported by Mika.
