Please drop this warning, just returning ret here is fine. (The rule of
thumb is: Emit runtime messages only in probe, not during usage.)

Would be nice if pinmuxing would be abstracted as a pinctrl driver. Not
sure how much effort that is. Maybe Linus has an idea?

Does not setting MAX7360_PWM_CTRL_ENABLE result in the pin going to
Hi-Z? If yes: That's wrong. You're only supposed to do that if
period_length_ns = 0 was requested. If no: This needs a comment why
duty_steps = 0 is special here.

wfhw->duty_steps = val;
