This and above if-else-if chain can be simplified

	if (!ndh && !ndl) {
		st->ramp_up_time_ns = wf.duty_length_ns;
		st->ramp_down_time_ns = wf.period_length_ns - wf.duty_length_ns;
	} else if (!ndh) {
		st->ramp_down_time_ns = wf.period_length_ns;
	} else if (!ndl) {
		st->ramp_up_time_ns = wf.period_length_ns;
	} else {		// for the above case
		...		//
	}

Or with inverted logic.
