Oh, this is indeed wrong and should be "return error".

Ok, I don't like .get_state emitting an error, but agreed, that's an
orthogonal issue that shouldn't be addressed en passant in this change.

This is something I'd address on the framework level. i.e. don't care in
the lowlevel driver about setting .enabled = false (or whatever we
choose to do) but care for that in drivers/pwm/core.c.

Note that the status quo is that if that error happens the consumer sees
whatever state the lowlevel driver stored in pwm->state, without an
error indication.

Will send a v2.
