docs: firmware-guide: ACPI: Add a PWM example
When PWM support for ACPI has been added into the kernel, it missed the documentation update. Hence update documentation here.

+Reference to PWM device
+=======================
+
+Sometimes a device can be a consumer of PWM channel. Obviously OS would like
+to know which one. To provide this mapping the special property has been
+introduced, i.e.::
+
+ Device (DEV)
+ {
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "compatible", Package () { "pwm-leds" } },
+ Package () { "label", "alarm-led" },
+ Package () { "pwms",
+ Package () {
+ "\\_SB.PCI0.PWM", // <PWM device reference>
+ 0, // <PWM index>
+ 600000000, // <PWM period>
+ 0, // <PWM flags>
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ })
+ ...
+
+In the above example the PWM-based LED driver references to the PWM channel 0
+of \_SB.PCI0.PWM device with initial period setting equal to 600 ms (note that
+value is given in nanoseconds).
