Description
I am working on some examples for PocketBeagle 2, and we have decided to use Rust for it.
I have a PWM example that currently uses a basic sysfs implementation. Since I am already using this crate for GPIOs, it would be nice to have PWM functionality here as well.
I can see that rust-sysfs-pwm exists, but seems to be unmaintained. So how would one go about adding PWM here. Should add the functionality here directly as a module, or would it be better to create PRs in rust-sysfs-pwm and build on top of it here.

Research direction
Start by reviewing this crate’s existing GPIO support and the linked rust-sysfs-pwm project, then compare their APIs and maintenance status. The issue does not name repository files or tests; the work is complete only after the project’s intended PWM ownership and implementation scope are agreed.
