Re: Handle pwm with sysfs with recent kernel

It is an error due to new check from this commit :

    pwm: Improve args checking in pwm_apply_state()

    It seems like in the process of refactoring pwm_config() to utilize the
    newly-introduced pwm_apply_state() API, some args/bounds checking was
    dropped.

I guess that I have to configure the period and the duty cycle before
enabling the pwm to be compatible with this kernek. I will update my
userspace code.
