commit 752b6e3af374460a2de18f0c10bfa06bf844dbe8 upstream.
In mchp_core_pwm_apply_locked(), if hw_period_steps is equal to its max, an error is reported and .apply fails. The max value is actually a permitted value however, and so this check can fail where multiple channels are enabled.
For example, the first channel to be configured requests a period that sets hw_period_steps to the maximum value, and when a second channel is enabled the driver reads hw_period_steps back from the hardware and finds it to be the maximum possible value, triggering the warning on a permitted value. The value to be avoided is 255 (PERIOD_STEPS_MAX + 1), as that will produce undesired behaviour, so test for greater than, rather than equal to.
