pwm: Set class for exported channels in sysfs
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.
