I wonder what happens if you don't wait long enough. Is this a
theoretical issue, or do you see an (occasional?) breakage that is fixed
by this patch?
I guess the problem is that if you disable too early the output freezes
and that might be in a state where the output is still active? Would
polling the PWMx_RDY bit in the control register help here?
Best regards
Uwe
