This reverts commit 7e5d1fd75c3dde9fc10c4472b9368089d1b81d00 as it causes
regression with multiple pwm chip. It creates a new entry in
'/sys/class/pwm' every time a 'pwmX' is exported with 'echo X > export':
- 1st time export will create an entry in /sys/class/pwm/pwmX
- when another export happens on another pwmchip, it can't be created
(e.g. -EEXIST)

This also changes existing ABI (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-pwm):
- pmwX should be there: /sys/class/pwm/pwmchipN/pwmX

Example on stm32 (stm32429i-eval) platform:
$ ls /sys/class/pwm
pwmchip0 pwmchip4

$ cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/
$ echo 0 > export
$ ls /sys/class/pwm
pwm0 pwmchip0 pwmchip4

$ cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip4/
$ echo 0 > export
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/pwm/pwm0'
...Exception stack follows...
