Hi Uwe,
I apologize for the significant delay in responding to your query,
I've now completed a thorough verification of the PWM_DEBUG
functionality.

The Period Testing:
seq 5000 5000 100000 | while read p; do echo $p >
/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/period echo "Testing period: $p" done

The Duty Cycle Testing:
for percent in 0 25 50 75 100; do duty=$((100000 * percent / 100))
echo $duty > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm0/duty_cycle done

- All period values from 5000ns to 100000ns were applied successfully
- Various duty cycle ratios were tested without issues
- Monitored dmesg output during tests - no kernel messages about wrong
settings were observed

Let me know if you need any additional test data or have other
parameters you'd like me to verify.
