pwm: pxa: Use module_platform_driver
Commit 76abbdde2d95a3807d0dc6bf9f84d03d0dbd4f3d pwm: Add sysfs interface causes a kernel oops due to a null pointer dereference on PXA platforms. This happens because the class added by the patch is registered in a subsys_initcall (initcall4), but the pxa pwm driver is registered in arch_initcall (initcall3). If the class is not registered before the driver probe function runs, the oops occurs in device_add() when the uninitialized pointers in struct class are dereferenced. I don't see a reason that the driver must be an arch_initcall, so this patch makes it a regular module_platform_driver (initcall6), preventing the oops.
