Add a software PWM which toggles a GPIO from a high-resolution timer.
This will naturally not be as accurate or as efficient as a hardware
PWM, but it is useful in some cases. I have for example used it for
evaluating LED brightness handling (via leds-pwm) on a board where the
LED was just hooked up to a GPIO, and for a simple verification of the
timer frequency on another platform.
Since high-resolution timers are used, sleeping GPIO chips are not
supported and are rejected in the probe function.
