Having pwm-API-calls in hw-drivers is ugly. Apart from not giving the
intended return code this function should IMHO be reserved to pwm
consumers. The underlaying problem is that pwm-bl does:
pwm_config(pwm, duty_cycle, period);
pwm_enable(pwm);
and expects that the duty_cycle and period is used then. Doesn't
everything works just fine if the if-block is always executed?
The better fix here would be to convert the driver to the atomic API
(i.e. implement .apply instead of .config, .set_polarity, .enable and
.disable).
Alternatively in .enable ensure that the hardware is programmed with the
parameters from pwm->state. (But converting to the atomic API is the
better approach.)
Best regards
Uwe
