Using simply PWM_MODE(NORMAL) instead of BIT(ffs(caps.modes) - 1) would be OK
from your side?
Or, what about using a function like pwm_mode_first() to get the first supported
mode by PWM channel?
Or, would you prefer to solve this inside pwm_config() function, let's say, in
case an invalid mode is passed as argument, to let pwm_config() to choose the
first available PWM mode for PWM channel passed as argument?
