As long as you don't set any of dev.pwm.0.* sysctls, the bcm283x_pwm
driver doesn't do anything, so that situation is harmless.

Once I find out how to get similar behaviour, ie: kldload without
having to reboot to load a DT-overlay.

My preference would be that DT-overlays could be compiled into
kmods, but I'm fine with any reasonable commahd that can load
an overlay without a reboot.

Or alternatively, a command which will change the "status=3Ddisable"
to "status=3Dokay" in the already loaded DT ?
