Using regmap_update_bits(..., mask, 1) with 'mask' following (1 << k)
and k greater than 0 is wrong. Indeed, _regmap_update_bits will perform
(mask & 1), which results in 0 if LSB of mask is 0. Thus the call
regmap_update_bits(..., mask, 1) is in reality equivalent to
regmap_update_bits(..., mask, 0).
In such a case, the correct use is regmap_update_bits(..., mask, mask).
This driver is performing such a mistake with the MODE1_RESTART mask,
which equals (1 << 6). Fix the driver to make it consistent with the
API. Please note that this change is untested, as I do not have this
piece of hardware. Testers are welcome!

Good catch!
During testing your change however, I noticed that this whole
conditional for duty_ns == pca->duty_ns (which I added) is bogus:
Restarting the chip means using the same ON and OFF times as before, so
the duty cycle "ratio" stays the same, relative to the period.
Here we are checking for an equal duty cycle in nanoseconds though..
Instead we would have to check if the ratio changed and only if it did
not, set the RESTART bit.
Or we could just remove that conditional. This is only an optimization
for the special case of changing both period_ns and duty_ns at the same
time but with the same ratio as before.
