Starting from next cycle new settings gets reflected with duty_cycle = > 4000 and period = 10000. Is the reference manual for this hardware publically available? So the .set_load callback just writes a shadow register and .set_match latches it into hardware atomically with its own register changes? A comment in the source code about this would be good. Also if .set_load doesn't work without .set_match I wonder if it is sane to put their logic in two different functions.
