Oops, yes, got that wrong. state->enabled is what I meant.

Not sure if that is true. The RM says: "A change in the period value due
to a write in PWM_PWMPR results in the counter being reset to zero and
the start of a new count period."

And for PWMSAR: "When a new value is written, the duty cycle changes
after the current period is over."

So I guess writing the period basically makes sure the next value from
PWMSAR will be active immediately...

Given that the driver did it like that since quite some time, I am
assuming it mostly works in practice. 

I would rather prefer to do that conversion to atomic PWM API now, and
fix that in a second step...
