Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pwm: pca9685: fix prescaler initialization

Until now, we assumed that the period is the hardware default of 1/200Hz
at probe time, but if the period was changed and the user reboots, this
assumption is wrong.

Solution: Check if the prescaler is set to the hardware default. If not,
reprogram the prescaler at first configuration.
