Ah, that behaviour explains how the hardware works. The logic is:

	if $currently_high:
	    if $clkcnt = $negedge:
	        set(low)
	else:
	    if $clkcnt = $posedge:
	        set(high)

The same problem exists for 100% relative duty cycle, doesn't it?

How does the PWM behave with:

	PERIOD = 0xfe
	POSEDGE = 0xff
	NEGEDGE = 0

I assume this yields constant low output. How does that change if you set
PERIOD = 0xff? If the output isn't constant low then, maybe that's a
reason to not permit PERIOD = 0xff.

Below you configure for duty_cycle = 0:

	POSEDGE = PERIOD
	NEGEDGE = 0

In my understanding this doesn't result in a constant output?!

I'd define the registers as follows:

	#define MCHPCOREPWM_PRESCALE		0x00
	#define MCHPCOREPWM_PERIOD		0x04
	#define MCHPCOREPWM_EN(i)		(0x08 + 0x04 * (i)) /* 0x08, 0x0c */
	#define MCHPCOREPWM_POSEDGE(i)		(0x10 + 0x08 * (i)) /* 0x10, 0x18, ..., 0x88 */
	#define MCHPCOREPWM_NEGEDGE(i)		(0x14 + 0x08 * (i)) /* 0x14, 0x1c, ..., 0x8c */
	#define MCHPCOREPWM_SYNC_UPD		0xe4

This is IMHO a bit better to understand and simplifies usage.

Hmmmmm, this is racy. Consider there are two PWMs in use and two
pwm_apply calls are run in parallel. Then the sync update in the first
execution thread triggers an update for the second which might just be
in the middle of updating registers and so there is a glitch for the 2nd
PWM. So this needs locking to behave correctly.

If prescale is 0xff we get prescale_val = 0 which is bogus.

You need to round up here.

This might overflow. Better use mul_u64_u64_div_u64 and require
clk_get_rate(mchp_core_pwm->clk) < NSEC_PER_SEC.

The goal here is to determine prescale and period_steps such that (in
order of importance):

 a) Both are in [0, 255]
 b) (prescale + 1) * (period_steps + 1) <= tmp
 c) (prescale + 1) * (period_steps + 1) should be big
 d) period_steps should be big[1]

(If it simplifies the implementation you can also put d) above c))

So there are a few things to improve here. For example with tmp = 0xfffe
you get prescale = 0xff + period_steps = 0xfe which violates d)

[1] In most cases this is beneficial as a big period_steps value allows
    a more finegrained selection for duty_cycle.

The bits 15:8 of COREPWM_EN_LOW_REG are always zero I assume?

This is racy, too.

If the configured period is bigger than the requested one, you should
return -EINVAL.

mchp_core_pwm_enable writes the COREPWM_SYNC_UPD_REG register, too. Do
you really need to write it twice?

You can drop these two, assuming you have #pwm-cells = <3> in the dtb,
they are also assigned by the core like that. (And if you don't it's
ugly to assign these and you're better of the the stuff that the pwm
core does.)

I recommend to drop this message. If every driver does that, you get
quite a lot of messages that are not very helpful (once development of
the driver is done) and delay the boot up time.

If you use devm_clk_get_enabled() and devm_pwmchip_add() in .probe(),
you can drop .remove()
