Tested and works fine for me. But I only have a Cygnus proc.
Maybe there is some issue with Kona as explained by the comment (even
if I don't understand it well).

 * Don't apply settings if disabled. The period and duty cycle are
 * always calculated above to ensure the new values are
 * validated immediately instead of on enable.
