[PATCH v3 2/2] pwm: mediatek: Fix duty and period setting

The period generated by the hardware is

	(PWMDWIDTH + 1) << CLKDIV) / freq

according to my tests with a signal analyser and also the documentation.

The current algorithm doesn't consider the `+ 1` part and so configures
slightly too high periods. The same issue exists for the duty cycle
setting. So subtract 1 from both the register values for period and
duty cycle. If period is 0, bail out, if duty_cycle is 0, just disable
the PWM which results in a constant low output.

Fixes: caf065f8fd58 ("pwm: Add MediaTek PWM support")
