Sure. I think the signatures of both of those functions could be reduced
in the process which would be nice.

ret = mchp_core_pwm_calc_period(chip, state, &prescale, &period_steps);
if (ret)
return ret;

I'll aim for something like the (absolutely untested) above then when I
respin.

Been messing with rust a bit of late, I love the #[must_use] attribute.
Looks to be an oversight since it's only going to return an error if the
clock rate exceeds what the FPGA is actually capable of.

Thanks again,
Conor.
