Don't have anything in my inbox, but I see that it's there on patchwork,
so I suspect it was eaten by the spam filter. Let me copy-paste here and
go through it.

I can fix that up, no need to resend for that.

We can't return an error here because the function has a void return
type. I'm not sure what it means if the POUTC is neither "normal" nor
"inverted", but perhaps a good idea would be to default to either of
those two in that case, or perhaps forcibly disable the PWM so that
we get known-good values in the registers?

I'm tempted not to treat this as a blocker because it's not actually
a bug or anything. Prior to this patch we also ignore whatever this
field was set to.

If that's what the documentation says I think it's okay to rely on it.
But I can add the mask if we want to play it extra safe.

I'm not sure what you means by policy. The above already does round to
closest. Is that not an appropriate policy?
