Hmm, this is actually never used, because if
!IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_PWM_LPSS), the only caller (that is added in patch
7) has:

	if (!IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_PWM_LPSS))
		return 0;

before devm_pwm_lpss_probe() is called.

Not sure if it's safe to just drop this patch. The return value is
neither -ENOSYS (which I would expect for a stub function like that) nor
-EINVAL (which for reasons unknown to me is used in the stub for
pwmchip_add()).

I would have a better feeling with -ENOSYS in your stub, but I don't
feel really strong here.

Best regards
Uwe
