Hello Jonathan,

very nice driver, just a few minor comments below.

a function prefix would be great here, I'd pick ntxec_pwm_from_chip as
name.

I'm not a big fan of aligning =. (As if you have to add a longer
variable you have to realign all otherwise unrelated lines.) But that's
subjective and it's up to you if you want to change this.

You could even minimize the window by changing the order here to

	NTXEC_REG_PERIOD_HIGH
	NTXEC_REG_DUTY_HIGH
	NTXEC_REG_PERIOD_LOW
	NTXEC_REG_DUTY_LOW

but it gets less readable. Maybe move that to a function to have the
reg_sequence and the actual write nearer together? Or somehow name the
indexes to make it more obvious?

If the device already has duty_cycle = 0 but ENABLE = 1, you might get
a failure. But I guess this doesn't need addressing in the code. But
maybe point it out in a comment?

Given that you cannot read back period and duty anyhow: Does it make
sense to write these only if (state->enabled && duty != 0)?
