The R-Car SoCs PWM Timer cannot output duty zero. So, this patch
adds a specific gpio property to output it.

Thanks for your patch!

I'm not so fond of adding a property to specify this explicitly: the PFC
driver already knows the mapping from the PWM output pin to the GPIO
number. However, I agree it is not easy to obtain this in a generic way.

For a PWM block with a single pin, it's easy: the pin you want to switch
between GPIO and pin function is the single pin in the single pin
control group specified in the board DT.

For blocks with multiple pins (e.g. SPI, UART), it is more complex, and
depends on the granularity of the pin control groups.
E.g. for UART, Renesas SoCs typically use 3 pin control groups ("data"
for RXD/TXD, "ctrl" for RTS/CTS, and "clk" for clock), and the pin
control driver (at least for sh-pfc) does not know which pin corresponds
to which GPIO inside each group.  Perhaps this information should be
added, with an API to retrieve it?

Anyone who has a good suggestion?
Thanks!
