Sure.

As noted in the commit message, there is already a driver for this
device for microblaze systems. To prevent conflicts, this driver is
disabled on microblaze.

I don't think that's necessary, since these defines are used only for
this file. In particular, adding a prefix like that would significantly
lengthen lines which add several flags.

Then we have a problem :)

I will add a check for this.

This cannot fail.

TLR is the value loaded into TCR when the counter resets. I believe this
happens at the rising edge for TCR0 and at the falling edge for TCR1,
but the exact behavior is not documented. Therefore, changing the value
of TLR will not affect the current cycle.

I don't know. My suspicion is that the output stops at whatever its
current value is.

Ok, I will move the initialization of the directory before registering
this driver in module init.

I didn't have memtool on my test system, so I added this. I can remove
it from the next patch if you'd like.

Yes. I will add a range check next revision.

Ok. Though in this case we will never get -EPROBE_DEFER from
clk_prepare_enable, so dev_err_probe is not as useful.

What about a PWM regulator with always-on?

This is mostly to match the exclusive_get in probe, in case there are
misbehaving consumers.

Ok.
