A PWM is a more general concept than an output-only GPIO. When using duty_length = period_length the PWM looks like an active GPIO, with duty_length = 0 like an inactive GPIO. With the waveform abstraction there is enough control over the configuration to ensure that PWMs that cannot generate a constant signal at both levels error out. The pwm-pca9685 driver already provides a gpio chip. When this driver is converted to the waveform callbacks, the gpio part can just be dropped.
