The polarity of our pwm controller will affect the duty cycle range:
PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED : Support duty_cycle from 0% to 99%
PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL: Support duty_cycle from 1% to 100%
Dynamic change polarity will result in more glitches. Thus, this will become
a trade-off between 100% and 0% duty_cycle support for user to use our pwm device.
I will document it and send next patch.
Thanks
