Subject: [PATCH v2] pwm: mediatek: support inverted polarity

According to the MT7986 Reference Manual the Mediatek PWM controller
doesn't appear to have support for inverted polarity.

To still support inverted PWM for common use cases, this relaxes the
check for inverted polarity within the driver to allow it to work in
case usage_power is set to true, i.e. the exact waveform does not
matter. If usage_power is true and the polarity is inverted the duty
cycle is mathematically inverted before being applied to the hardware.
