Apply 0% duty cycle: .enabled=false + .duty_cycle=0
Below some writes triggering PWM_DEBUG output:

# echo 488282 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip3/pwm0/period
# echo 244140 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip3/pwm0/duty_cycle
# echo 0 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip3/pwm0/duty_cycle
[   91.813513] mc33xs2410-pwm spi0.0: .apply is supposed to round down duty_cycle (requested: 0/488282, applied: 1908/488282)
