linux-kernel - Re: [PATCH 1/1] PWM-atmel: Fixed a bug which set the pwm clock prescaler incorrectly. In the defect code the prescaler was always one more than expected value, which resulted in the pwm output with wrong frequency and duty cycle.

I think this was fixed by a different patch by Nikolaus in a more direct
way, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/24/28

I've pushed that patch to the for-next branch of the PWM tree. Can you
verify that the issue you were seeing is gone?
