LPTimer can use a 32KHz clock for counting. It depends on clock tree
configuration. In such a case, PWM output frequency range is limited.
Although unlikely, nothing prevents user from requesting a PWM frequency
above counting clock (32KHz for instance):
- This causes (prd - 1) = 0xffff to be written in ARR register later in
the apply() routine.
This results in badly configured PWM period (and also duty_cycle).
Add a check to report an error is such a case.

Does "clock < period" make sense? I'd just write: "Clock is too slow to
achieve period."

> +		dev_err(priv->chip.dev, "Can't reach expected period\n");

IMHO this is little helpful. If a consumer requests such an
unsatisfiable state several times your log is spammed and you don't even
see the what was requested. I'd drop the message completely (or make it
a dev_debug).
