I think the , should be dropped.

Typo: guaranted -> guaranteed

Not sure how the rest of sun4i_pwm_get_state behaves, but I would prefer
to let .get_state() round up which together with .apply_state() rounding
down yields sound behaviour.

I guess the compiler is smart enough here, but checking for
state->enabled is cheaper than the other checks, so putting this at the
start of the expression seems sensible.

The comment doesn't match the code. You don't round up state->period.
(This is good, please fix the comment.) I think dropping the check

state->period * clk_rate < NSEC_PER_SEC + clk_rate

would be fine, too.

I'd like to have a check for

state->duty_cycle * clk_rate >= NSEC_PER_SEC / 2 &&
state->duty_cycle * clk_rate < NSEC_PER_SEC

here. If this isn't true rather disable the PWM or output a 100% duty
cycle with a larger period.
