If it is not necessary to change the variable names, then I would prefer
we keep them as is as then changes would be less.

I see that other drivers (pwm-img.c) consider this to be an error and
return an error. I wonder if adjusting the period makes sense here?

I wonder if the handling of the min_period, should be a separate change?

Are you using num_channels to determine if Tegra uses the BPMP? If so
then the above is not really correct, because num_channels is not really
related to what is being done here. So maybe you need a new SoC
attribute in the soc data.

Should be we checking the rate against the max rate supported?

Do we need to update the pwm->clk_rate here?
