Every driver seems to implement rounding the way its driver considers it
sensible. @Thierry: This is another patch where it would be good to have
a global directive about how rounding is supposed to work to provide the
users an reliable and uniform way to work with PWMs.

Not sure if the compiler is clever enough to notice the obvious
optimisation with this code construct, but you can write this test in a
more clever way which has zero instead of up to two divisions. Something
like:

bypass = ((state->period * clk_rate >= NSEC_PER_SEC &&
state->period * clk_rate < NSEC_PER_SEC + clk_rate) &&
state->enabled);

In the commit log you write the motivation for using bypass is that it
allows to implement higher frequency then with the "normal" operation.
As you don't skip calculating the normal parameters requesting such a
high-frequency setting either errors out or doesn't catch the impossible
request. In both cases there is something to fix.

Does switching on (or off) the bypass bit complete the currently running
period?
