Interesting...What is the PWM period and duty cycle in the test case?
Can you dump the following registers before and after disabling:
- TLDR
- TMAR
- TCLR

hmm..The line clearly goes down on the scope after the current pwm duty cycle is
done and never comes back.

This is redirecting to collabora.com. Is this code available in github or some
public repo?
