Actually it will. It's probably a good idea to add a WARN_ON() to the
PWM core if that situation arises. I don't think going as far as
prohibiting it will do any good, though. It's not like drivers will
have much of a choice if pwm_put() fails. Typically they'd do that in
their ->remove() call, at which point failure is difficult to deal with.

Linus was probably referring to !PM configurations. I'm not sure how
often they'll get run, but as long as it doesn't make it into linux-next
the chances aren't very high (I don't think the 0-day builder executes
randconfig builds).
