Oh, I didn't actually notice this was a regression.

Now that you mention it, I think you've also dropped some signed
(negative value) checking in pwm_config(). I'll squash in your diff +
some pwm_config() fixes.

I'll send v2 without your ack, since I'm going to add a tiny bit extra.
That'll give you a chance to ack the final (?) version.

That sounds like it would be a good idea, IMO. Thanks for noticing this
was a regression! :)
