I'd say for sure it is not correct to configure for a period of 3 s if
20 s are requested. Where to draw the line exactly I don't know either.
In my opinion we need a general guideline like:
If the requested period + duty_cycle combo isn't supported use
the biggest available period that is not bigger than requested,
scale duty cycle accordingly and pick the biggest available duty
cycle that is not bigger than the scaled value.
If the requested period is shorter than possible, return
-ERANGE.
I think the above is sensible, but that's something that IMHO must first
be declared to be "official" as it doesn't make sense if a single driver
implements this and the other still do their own stuff.
Additionally I would consider it beneficial to have something like:
int pwm_round_state(pwm, &state)
that modifies state according to the above rules without affecting the
hardware. With the respective driver callback the framework could then
implement stuff like: "If the resulting configuration deviates too much
from the requested state, return an error to the consumer." with having
the definition of "too much" in a single place. It would also allow a
consumer who cares much about the resulting waveform to determine the
effects without testing.
The framework could then add additional checks like:
int pwm_apply_state(pwm, state)
{
struct pwm_state rounded_state;
if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PWM_EXTRA_CHECKS):
rounded_state = pwm->ops->round_state(state);
if !was_rounded_according_to_the_rules(round_state):
warn(...)
pwm->ops->apply(pwm, state)
if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PWM_EXTRA_CHECKS):
actual_state = pwm->ops->get_state(state);
if actual_state != round_state:
warn(...)

I don't care much about that. If you prefer do:
tmp = period_cound;
tmp <<= prescale;
tmp *= NSEC_PER_SEC;
Just don't multiply by (1 << prescale).

The frameworks expectation is that .apply results in the hardware
switches to the new configuration directly after completing a previously
configured period. So if you change the period, get preempted and then
change the polarity three periods later that is a bug. If it's
impossible to fix this in software please do as good as possible
(whatever that means) and add this problem to the list of limitations at
the top of the driver.

I'd do:
if (FIELD_GET(PWM_IMX_TPM_CnSC_ELS, val) == 0x1)
state->polarity = PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED;
else
/*
* Assume reserved values (0b00 and 0b11) to yield
* normal polarity.
*/
state->polarity = PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL;
(unless it can be determined what the other configurations do. The RM
declares them as reserved, maybe they just yield constant high and
constant low patterns?)
A define for "inversed" (1) and "normal" (2) would be good.

No, don't hide that in driver data---hiding is bad. Pass a pointer to a
custom struct that lives on the stack instead.

And it could also simplify to implement the callback for my suggested
pwm_round_state above.

Not sure you understood what I intended to say. If the enable_count
isn't zero you shouldn't even try to disable the clock. Consider the PWM
is driving a step motor that must not be stopped in an uncontrolled
manner.
There is an effort to ensure that a PWM consumer is suspended before the
PWM. Together with this everybody should be happy.
