1000000000 / 32768 is 30517.578125. Because of the parenthesis this is
truncated to 30517. Multiplied by 3 this results in 91551. The exact
result is 91552.734375 however.

This is inexact. Consider again the case where tmp_p is
3 * (NSEC_PER_SEC / 32768). The values you use and the exact values are:

	m     |       0        |      1       |      2      |      3     | ... |        7 |
	tmp_p |   91551        | 183102       | 366204      | 732408     |     | 11718528 |
        actual|   91552.734375 | 183105.46875 | 366210.9375 | 732421.875 | ... | 11718750 |

So while you save some cycles by precalculating the values in
lpg_clk_table, you trade that for lost precision.

Please don't pick a period that is longer than the requested period (for
the PWM functionality that is).

This can be simplified, you can at least calculate the optimal m
directly.

Please use the actually implemented period here instead of the
requested. This improves precision, see commit
8035e6c66a5e98f098edf7441667de74affb4e78 for a similar case.

Can you please test your driver with PWM_DEBUG enabled? The first thing
this will critizise is that there is no .get_state callback.

Please drop this assignment.
