I don't understand what you're saying here. The bootloader configuring
the hardware is a usual use-case. That's why we have the .get_state
callback in the first place.

DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL still doesn't match what the apply callback uses.
With the lack of an official statement from the maintainer I'd prefer
.apply to round down and implement .get_state such that
pwm_apply(pwm, pwm_get_state(pwm))
is a no-op.

So assuming one of the clocks is for operation of the output and the
other for accessing the registers, the latter can be disabled at the end
of each callback?

Without understanding the complete problem I'd say this is out of the
area the driver should care about.
