Do you have anything more specific in mind?

I was thinking at the same, and in the end I do have proposed this
solution in any case.

Let's look at the 2 use cases in which the DT property and the module
parameter are different.

## 1

module parameter pwminv=0
ti,pwm-inverted DT property present

=> we enable the PWM inversion

I think this is fair, if someone has a DT based system we need to assume
that the DT is correct. This is a HW configuration, not a module
parameter.

## 2

module parameter pwminv=1
ti,pwm-inverted DT property absent

=> we enable the PWM inversion

In this case the module parameter is overriding the DT. It means that
someone explicitly set pwminv=1 module parameter. I think is fair to
fulfill the module parameter request in this case, overriding the DT

With that said I can implement something around the lines you proposed,
if you still think is worth doing it. I would personally just keep the
priority on the module parameter over the DT and add an info print on what
is actually configured by the driver (not checking if they are
different).
	
Or I can just add a dev_info() telling the user about the actual PWM
polarity used, making this more transparent, without changing the logic
proposed here.
