An example use case is a mobile phone OEM that wishes to set a period of
5 seconds or more for, say, a low battery slow blinking indication - currently
this is not possible. The PWM framework not having direct support for
blinking should not be a concern if the PWM peripheral being controlled
supports it via register writes.

Will upload a new patchset adding more details in the summary patch.

Thank you.
