mhh this should be "1 << (7 - prescaler)" in both cases. So
max_period_ns is wrong:
   max_period_ns = 1 << (7 - prescaler) / pwm_clk * NSEC_PER_SEC

I don't have a strong opinion on that. I can change it. Although there
will be checkpatch warning about multiple uses of the macro argument,
I'd presume.

I varied between this and some if/switch. This hard to read IMHO (as
was your your ilog(n+1)+1), but you could easily change the range
of the prescaler without having to change this. Also if/switch
looked ugly too *g*. I'll check again.

Due to the clamping, it is not, correct. I'll remove it.

This shouldn't really happen and I put it into the same category
as the two above and report no error. But I can add it.

Generally, it looked to me that more and more drivers don't
really report errors anymore, but just return with an -EWHATEVER.
So if someone can shed some light here, I'm all ears.
