pwm: Read initial hardware state at request time
Drivers that support reading the hardware state (using ->get_state()) may want to rely on per-PWM data to do so. Defer reading the hardware state for the first time until the PWM has been requested and after drivers have had a chance to allocate per-PWM data. Conceptually this is also a more natural place to read the hardware state because the PWM core doesn't need to know the hardware state of a PWM unless there is a user for it. This also ensures that the state is read everytime a user requests a PWM. If the PWM changes between users for some reason, the PWM core will reload the state from hardware and keep its copy of the state up-to-date.
