Name is completely confusing.
Please, make it unique enough to understand that this is exactly the
device it serves for.

For example, pwm-rpi-poe is better.

Can't it be emulated? Isn't it 100% - duty cycle % ?

Redundant 'else'

Ditto.

Looks like a hack.

Can't you use the usual pattern?

  ret = ...
  if (ret)
    return ret;
  ...
  return 0;
