Yes I'm aware of the change in rounding and I do not believe that it is
relevant. One of the advantages of switching to the helpers is not having
to worry about the rounding and letting the helpers figure that out :)

It shouldn't happen this code uses only 2 PWM controller drivers,
pwm-crc and pwm-lpss and the get_state of neither ever sets
period tto 0. This check is just here for extra safety, since getting it
wrong would lead to a divide by 0. Which I see has been fixed by the
helper now (which does its own period==0 check). So I guess I can
(and I will) just drop this extra check for the next version.
