pwm: meson: Add documentation to the driver

Add links to the datasheet and a short summary how the hardware works.
The goal is to make it easier for other developers to understand why the
pwm-meson driver is implemented the way it is.

/* /*
* PWM controller driver for Amlogic Meson SoCs.
*
* This PWM is only a set of Gates, Dividers and Counters:
* PWM output is achieved by calculating a clock that permits calculating
* two periods (low and high). The counter then has to be set to switch after
* N cycles for the first half period.
* The hardware has no "polarity" setting. This driver reverses the period
* cycles (the low length is inverted with the high length) for
* PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED. This means that .get_state cannot read the polarity
* from the hardware.
* Setting the duty cycle will disable and re-enable the PWM output.
* Disabling the PWM stops the output immediately (without waiting for the
* current period to complete first).
*
* The public S912 (GXM) datasheet contains some documentation for this PWM
* controller starting on page 543:
* https://dl.khadas.com/Hardware/VIM2/Datasheet/S912_Datasheet_V0.220170314publicversion-Wesion.pdf
* An updated version of this IP block is found in S922X (G12B) SoCs. The
* datasheet contains the description for this IP block revision starting at
* page 1084:
