I'm not (yet?) convinced this is a good idea because these concepts are
somewhat blurry. For example a controller that only supports normal
polarity (probably) still can generate the wave corresponding to:

	.enabled = true,
	.polarity = PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED,
	.duty_cycle = 0,
	.period = 5000,

and unless we refuse this request at the core level (should we?) the
driver must be aware of .polarity anyhow. Ditto for .enabled = false.

I'd like to have another go through the patch. Will do so (hopefully)
later today. So please don't apply yet.

Best regards
Uwe
