This has a slightly different semantic though. Some consumer might
expect that the following sequence:

	pwm_apply(mypwm, { .period = 10000, .duty_cycle = 10000, .enabled = true })
	pwm_apply(mypwm, { .period = 10000, .duty_cycle = 0, .enabled = true })
	pwm_apply(mypwm, { .period = 10000, .duty_cycle = 10000, .enabled = true })

results in the output being low for an integer multiple of 10 µs. This
isn't given with setting CLK_ENABLE to zero, is it? (I didn't recheck,
if the PWM doesn't complete periods on reconfiguration this doesn't
matter much though.)

Best regards
Uwe
