What if the client needs to know period_ns, yet the DT doesn't provide
it?

I think a better approach would be to use an "of_xlate" function like
GPIO and IRQ do. This way, the PWM device's own bindings get to define
what the extra cells mean, and the definition of of_xlate can be such
that it must return a period_ns value in all cases; in some cases, the
driver may return a hard-coded value if the HW doesn't support the
feature, whereas in most cases the value would be parsed from the
extra cells.

Without seeing the complete binding documentation and an example, it's
difficult to think about whether it's a good idea to include period_ns
in the PWM specifier or not. An alternative might be a property in the
PWM node itself.

Can we remove the conditionals here? That would allow a PWM driver to
unconditionally assign this field, rather than having to wrap the 
assignment in ifdefs.

Actually, even better would be for struct pwm_chip to contain a struct
device * instead. That'd allow the PWM core to use that for e.g. dev_err
calls, and it includes the of_node for use in the match function above.

I like the "of_xlate" alternative better. Adding a property to the PWM node
would hard-code the period regardless of the user. That doesn't really
reflect the PWM API.

I will play around with it a bit and make sure to include PWM binding
documentation in the next version.

I like that idea. I'll address that in the next version.
