Hello Richard,

just a very quick look:

That looks wrong. In principle nct6775_pwm_round_waveform_fromhw()
doesn't depend on hardware state. It's supposed to just convert the
settings stored in _wfhw to wf. If you know that some things are
constant during the lifetime of the PWM and you read those from
hardware, return a proper error code, not 1.

Rounding down wf->period_length_ns is fine, so this must be:

	if (wf->period_length_ns < cur_period)
		return 1;
