Hello,

Regarding the Subject: The patch has nothing to do with an LED, has it?

Please break lines at 75 columns in the commit log.

I looked at Figure 29 in this document (version v1p6, pdf page 148). Not
sure I understand that correctly, but I expect that the output of the
">=?" node below pwmcmp0 to become 1 if pwms has reached pwmcmp0, is
that right? In that case this output is zero when pwmcount is zero and
then pwmcmp0ip is zero, too. So a period starts with the inactive part
and so it's inversed polarity.

What made you think that the current driver implementation is wrong?

I find it irritating that both values are assigned to duty. I'd spend
another variable and make this:

	inactive = readl(ddata->regs + PWM_SIFIVE_PWMCMP(pwm->hwpwm));
	duty = (1U << PWM_SIFIVE_CMPWIDTH) - 1 - inactive;

Please keep this empty line between functions.
