.start and .stop apis does read the hardware registers and check the state
before making any changes. Do you want to drop off the pwm_is_enabled(pwm) check
here?

Existing driver implementation abruptly stops the cycle. I can make changes such
that it completes the currently running period.

- Polarity can be changed only when the pwm is not running. Ill add extra guards
to reflect this behavior.
- Changing duty_cycle and period does complete the running period and new values
gets reflected in next cycle.

Now that I am making changes to complete the current period on disable, the pin
goes to Low after disabling(completing the cycle).

Ill add all these points as you mentioned in v2.

Thanks and regards,
Lokesh
