<pre>I found a workaround that helps to delay the loading of i915.
Removing i915 from the initramfs causes it to be loaded later in the boot
process. On my baytrail tablet this is sufficient to avoid the "*ERROR* Failed
to own the pwm chip" problem.
For dracut based distributions you can do
# dracut -f --omit-drivers="i915"
to rebuild the initramfs without i915.</pre>
