state->duty_cycle and state->period are u64, so you're losing
information here. Consider state->duty_cycle = 0x100000001 and
state->period = 0x200000001.

I wonder if you can add some logic to the regmap in the mfd driver such
that ntxec_reg8 isn't necessary for all users.

I think I already asked, but I don't remember the reply: What happens to
the output between these writes? A comment here about this would be
suitable.

This can be const.

*/
Hmm, at least you could provice a .get_state() callback that reports the
setting that was actually implemented for in the last call to .apply()?
@Thierry: Do you have concerns here? Actually it would be more effective
to have a callback (like .apply()) that modfies its pwm_state
accordingly. (Some drivers did that in the past, but I changed that to
get an uniform behaviour in 71523d1812aca61e32e742e87ec064e3d8c615e1.)
The downside is that people have to understand that concept to properly
use it. I'm torn about the right approach.
