It's not exactly the same, see patch 7ed915059c300 ("gpio: raspberrypi-ext: fix
firmware dependency ") which explains why this pattern is needed.

Why not using state->period != RPI_PWM_PERIOD_NS here?

OK, clearly better this way.

Obviously, I failed to change the register name.
This is supposed to set the default duty cycle after resetting the board. I
added it so as to keep compatibility with the downstream version of this.
I'll add a comment to explain this.

As commented in the dt binding patch, I'll do that.

It was cargo culted from other pwm drivers, I saw it being used on more than
one and figured it was the preferred way of naming things. I'll change it.

There isn't an explicit one. But since you depend on a symbol from the firmware
driver you won't be able to remove the kernel module before removing the PMW
one.

Overall I took note of your comments and I'll make the changes. Thanks for the
review.
