The main issue is that the current documentation talks about the
non-existent function pwm_get_last_applied_state. (This was right in the
context of
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pwm/20210406073036.26857-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de/
but was then missed to adapt when this patch was reduced to a
documentation update.)

While at is also clarify "last applied PWM state" to "PWM state that was
passed to the last invocation of pwm_apply_state()" to better
distinguish to the last actually implemented state and reword to drop a
word repetition.

pwm_{enable,disable}() calls in the same function, this probably means you
should switch to pwm_apply_state().

The PWM user API also allows one to query the[-last applied-] PWM state [-with-]

different to what the driver has actually implemented if the request cannot be

consumers to get the actually implemented settings.

In addition to the PWM state, the PWM API also exposes PWM arguments, which
are the reference PWM config one should use on this PWM.
