Subject: [PATCH v2] pwm: Fixes dpm_run_callback() error in pwm_apply_state()

Return invalid argument error from pwm_apply_state()
call when 'period is not set' or 'duty_cycle is greater
than period' only when PWM is enabled, so as to fix the
dpm_run_callback() error seen on exynos SoC during
Suspend

There may be situation when PWM is exported using sysfs,
but at that point period is not set for PWM. At this
point if we do suspend, then during pwm_apply_state
function call from pwm_class_suspend, it checks whether
period is set or not. It is not set now, so it returns
an invalid argument error which issues dpm_run_callback()
error

I still consider this a band aid and I think there is need for prudence
here. Did you verify that all lowlevel drivers handle a state that is
now allowed in a sane way? If you did, you missed at least
pwm-bcm2835.c, I guess there are more but I stopped checking.

So while this change might make sense in the future, I think it's wrong
to do it now.

I stand to the request to find out why pwm->state is strange. Maybe you
just have to fix your .get_state() callback.

Best regards
Uwe
