rounding a division using closest is wrong in the context of PWM.

Also state->duty_cycle * 255 might overflow and you have to use the
actual period in the calculation of val instead of the requested value.

If you use guard(), the control flow simplifies and using goto becomes
unnecessary.

For new drivers please implement .round_waveform_tohw(),
.round_waveform_fromhw(), .write_waveform() and ideally so
.read_waveform().
