Maybe point out here that this introduces a glitch that cannot be
prevented. Something like:

	/*
	 * We have to enable the clk before setting the rate and
	 * duty_cycle, that however results in a window where the clk is
	 * on with a (potentially) different setting. Also setting
	 * period and duty_cycle are two separate calls, so that
	 * probably isn't atomic either.
	 */

You can use devm_clk_get_prepared() here and drop the clk_prepare()
below and the clk_unprepare in .remove().
