Thanks for your explain, it is a clearer for the behavior of our hardware. 
I will rewrite the comment in next patch.

This is a trade-off between
CTRL_INVERSE = 1 : Support duty_cycle from 0% to 99%
and
CTRL_INVERSE = 0: Support duty_cycle from 1% to 100%
The driver select the CTRL_INVERSE = 0 as the default state.
