I agree with the approach you propose but the thing is the atmel_pwm_apply()
take care of both, current PWM state and the new state received as argument
in order to change only duty factor without disabling the PWM channel (if
channel is enabled) and then returns. Changing PWM duty and period and polarity
in the same step without disabling + enabling the PWM channel (with atomic
approach) may lead to intermediary unwanted output waveforms (the IP doesn't
support this for ordinary PWM channels). To take advantage of atmel_pwm_apply()
(in the formit is today) in resume() hook might need to first call it to disable
channel and then to enable it. Or atmel_pwm_apply() should be changed to also
disable + enable the channel when user changes the duty factor at runtime.

It is a good point.
