In some cases the delay could be prevented. e.g. when going from one
disabled state to another. If you don't want to complicate the driver
here, maybe point it out in a comment at least?

It's not well defined if pwm_apply should only return when the new
setting is actually active. (e.g. mxs doesn't wait)
So I wonder: Are there any hardware restrictions between setting the
SYNC_UPD flag and modifying the registers for duty and period? (I assume
writing a new duty and period might then result in a glitch if the
period just ends between the two writes.) Can you check if the hardware
waits on such a completion, e.g. by reading that register?

You're doing a copy of pwm->state just to use one of the members to pass
it to mchp_core_pwm_enable.

I think using unsigned long for clk_rate would be beneficial. The
comparison against NSEC_PER_SEC might get cheaper (depending on how
clever the compiler is), and calling mchp_core_pwm_calc_period
should get cheaper, too. (At least on 32 bit archs.)

Don't you need to pass the previously configured period here?
