[...] until the user explicitly tells us, for instance with the command:

	kldload /boot/kernel/bcm283x_pwm.ko

I'm not sure who was the first to run 386BSD on a laptop 25 years
ago, I was certainly one of the first five.

Ever since then our explicit goal has been to *not* require reboots
for reconfiguration, unless there was no way to avoid it.  Nothing
you or the "DT guys" can say, can convince me that we should reverse
that course.

I don't care how it works, but enabling and using PWM on an
out-of-the-box RPi should not require a reboot.
