As you cannot use values bigger than 8191999 anyhow, I wonder why you
use a 64 bit type here.

Please use a define instead of plain 125.

This check isn't necessary as the pwm core ensures that duty <= period.

Does this complete the currently running period? Can it happen that a
new period starts between the first and the last write and so a mixed
period can be seen at the output?

Please don't align the =, just a single space before them is fine.
More important: Please implement .apply() (and .get_state()) instead of
the old API. Also please enable PWM_DEBUG which might save us a review
iteration.

This is broken for several reasons:

 - You're not supposed to modify the output in .probe
 - if ntxec_write8 results in an error you keep the pwm registered.
 - From the moment on pwmchip_add returns the callbacks can be called.
   The calls to ntxec_write8 probably interfere here.
