The code handling the sysfs API uses "child" and "parent" to refer to
the devices corresponding to a struct pwm or a struct pwm_chip
respectively.
Other parts of the pwm core use "parent" to refer to the parent device of
a struct pwm_chip.
So rename "child" to "pwm_dev" and "parent" to "pwmchip_dev" which
better explains the semantic. Also two functions are changed to match
the new names:
child_to_pwm_export() -> pwmexport_from_dev()
child_to_pwm_device() -> pwm_from_dev()
(which have the additional advantage to start with "pwm" which gives the
right scope). Additionally introduce a wrapper for dev_get_drvdata() to
convert a pwmchip_dev to the respective pwm_chip.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
