pwm: Drop unused function pwm_apply_args()

The function pwm_apply_args() was introduced with the concept of atomic
PWM configuration and needed for drivers not using this concept yet. Now
all drivers are converted accordingly and so no callers are left which
allows to remove this function.

-        * disabled.
-        *
-        * PWM drivers supporting hardware readout may declare the PWM device
-        * as enabled, and prevent polarity setting, which changes from the
-        * existing behavior, where all PWM devices are declared as disabled
-        * at startup (even if they are actually enabled), thus authorizing
-        * polarity setting.
-        *
-        * To fulfill this requirement, we apply a new state which disables
-        * the PWM device and set the reference period and polarity config.

-        * Note that PWM users requiring a smooth handover between the
-        * bootloader and the kernel (like critical regulators controlled by
