Subject: [PATCH 137/454] pwm: Set class for exported channels in sysfs

[ Upstream commit 7e5d1fd75c3dde9fc10c4472b9368089d1b81d00 ]

Notifications for devices without bus or class set get dropped by
dev_uevent_filter(). Adding the class to the exported child matches
what the GPIO subsystem is doing.

With this change exporting a channel triggers a udev event, which
gives userspace a chance to fixup permissions and makes it possible
for non-root users to make use of the PWM subsystem.
