OK, enum value of lp3943_pwm_output can be changed as below
because LP3943_PWM_INVALID is not used anymore.
enum lp3943_pwm_output {
LP3943_PWM_OUT0,
LP3943_PWM_OUT1,
...
LP3943_PWM_OUT15,
};
Then, output index will match each enum integer value.
Does it make sense?

At this moment, this is the only one device supported.

This is related with initcall sequence.
Some problem may happen if any GPIO or PWM consumer tries to request before
LP3943 MFDs are added.
For example, a GPIO is requested in _probe() of some device.
Let's assume the GPIO number is in range of what LP3943 GPIO driver provided.
Then, gpio_request() will be failed because the GPIO is invalid at this moment.
If the device request again later, it will be OK, but we can't expect this
situation for every driver.
Some drivers request a GPIO only once in _probe(), other devices may request
a GPIO in some cases.
So, I think lp3943_init() should be defined as subsys_initcall() instead of
module_init().
