The framework does restrict when polarity changes can occur but it
isn't clear to me that there is any reason to delay applying the
polarity change.  Keep in mind that polarity matters even when a PWM
is disabled.  While disabled, the output should be equivalent to an
enabled configuration with zero duty.  Thus for normal polarity the
output is constant low and for inversed polarity the output is
constant high. I believe there is an expectation that the output is
updated to reflect the requested polarity change prior to returning to
the caller.
