number of PWM devices provided by the chip and the chip-specific
implementation of the supported PWM operations to the framework.
+When implementing polarity support in a PWM driver, make sure to respect the
+signal conventions in the PWM framework. By definition, normal polarity
+characterizes a signal starts high for the duration of the duty cycle and
