I'd write:

The PWM controller of the new SAM9X60 SoC uses 32 bit wide
counters compared to 16 bit wide counters in the earlier chips.
To support this add a new structure to the compatibles' data
that describe the counter width and precision and make use of
them instead of the hard coded values.

Other than that the commit looks fine.

Orthogonal to this patch, this could be calculated without a loop.
Something like

pres = roundup_pow_of_two(cycles);
if (pres > bitwidth_of_counter_register)
pres -= bitwidth_of_counter_register;
else
pres = 0

(where bitwidth_of_counter_register is 16 for the older PWMs and 32 for
the new one). Maybe it would make more sense to put 16 into the
structure describing the PWM then instead of 0xffff (which is easily
calculated from 16)? If picking this up, you might have to pay
attention to pick functions that support long long arguments.
roundup_pow_of_two() doesn't as of now.

Best regards
Uwe
