I've applied this with some coding style bikeshedding applied. Also I
think there's a timer leak in the probe function:

dm_timer holds the requested timer now.

But it's not released when this allocation fails...

... nor when this lookup fails. I've taken the liberty of adding two
calls to omap->pdata->free(dm_timer) to these error paths.

Please take a look at what's in the pwm/for-next branch to see if it
still works correctly.

Thanks,
Thierry
