For backward compatibility board device tree may define amount of only
mandatory pwm properties, which is compared to a pwm driver specific
value, by default it is 2 and may be overwritten by a driver.

Any additional arguments shall be considered as optional and they are
taken into account, only if #pwm-cells is increased accordingly.

As a positive side effect specific pwm-specifier array may have
variable size of #pwm-cells (but not less than amount of mandatory
arguments), which allows to omit optional arguments. The parameters
array of a specific PWM is updated according to the actual data taken
from device tree file.
