That would allow undoing an earlier invert which is something my initial 
implementation lacked.

In the future we could also make this a list of values to deal with 
multiple pwm outputs

e.g. pwm-polarity = <PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL>, <PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL> 
<PWM_POLARITY_INVERTED>;

I'll look at a v2 that does the first part for now.
