Indeed, something i doesn't match. Checking with [1] section 22.4.1 there are 
no bits regarding output inversion. Also pwm_imx1_apply returns -EINVAL if 
state->polarity != PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL.
So IMO "#pwm-cells = <3>" is wrong for imx1. If fixed to 2, this also matches 
the description for the value of #pwm-cells in imx-pwm.yaml.

Best regards,
Alexander
