The original code was based on the SPEAr PWM driver which has a non-zero
PWMDCR_MIN_DUTY such that the second condition here can evaluate to true.

This isn't the case for the Kona PWM where DUTY_CYCLE_HIGH_MIN is zero.

Why not just print the minimum allowable period with the provided clock?

I don't think pc and prescale will be particularly helpful to users.

Also, do we really need to print __func__ here?

The above block is unreachable code.

The user got here because they specified a period larger than the maximum
supported so why not tell them largest value that can be supported instead
of confusing them with prescale and PRESCALE_MAX?

This could be more clear.  It prints pc but calls it period.
