I have tested on HiFive Unleashed board using sysfs interface.
Parent clk rate is around 512 Mhz.
I have tested scenarios as you mentioned above with various period and
duty_cycle values.

After considering your below suggestion,
 | To get the result independent of the prior configuration you better use

 | approximation
I will introduce approx_period feild, which will be used as the
targeted period length.
Also, in pwm_sifive_get_state, I will make below change
- state->period = pwm->real_period;
+ state->period = pwm->approx_period.
So with this change in place, I believe the cur_state.period for the
second pwm_apply_state() above (pwm2) will be exactly 10000000

Sure, will implement this.
