Re: [PATCH v9 06/13] pwm: add support for sl28cpld PWM controller

Hello,

just a bit of nitpicking left. If Lee is going to apply, I can care for
a followup patch if need be.

The division you're talking about is NSEC_PER_SEC / pwm_clk which isn't
obvious in the formula in the line above. Maybe:

	...
	this then simplifies to:

	  duty_cycle_ns = NSEC_PER_SEC / SL28CPLD_PWM_CLK * pwm_cycle_reg

	NSEC_PER_SEC is a multiple of SL28CPLD_PWM_CLK, therefor ...

to make it easier to understand the comment.

Nice! I didn't spend the necessary brain cycles to confirm this
algorithm, but it seems you did :-)
