In order to disable the PWM we need to update using following sequence.

pwm_config() with a zero duty cycle to make it clear the timer and update the PWM registers.
pwm_disable will clear the TCON_AUTORELOAD(tcon_chan) and update the PWM register.

There is no TCON_AUTORELOAD in this driver. Future developers will have no idea
what you are talking about here. Please provide a generic comment.

Next change in state will get trigger unless a new PWM cycle happened.

That sentence is difficult to parse. Actually, I have no idea what it is supposed to mean.

	pwm_config(pwm, duty, period);
  	pwm_enable(pwm);

Through pwm_config we update the duty cycle and period and update the PWM register.
pwm_enable will update the state to TCON_MANUALUPDATE(tcon_chan)
and TCON_START(tcon_chan) | TCON_AUTORELOAD(tcon_chan) and update the PWM register.

This sentence does not make sense in the context of the pwm-fan driver.
