It would be great if you could also document that disabling the PWM
makes the output tri-state. There are a few drivers that have a
"Limitations" section at their top. Describing that there (in the same
format) would be the right place.

Also note that according to Thierry's conception getting a (driven)
inactive output is the right thing for a disabled PWM.

Best regards
