This is an information that I want to have available. Ideally easily
greppable by using the format that other drivers use for that, too.
(The command I usually use is:

sed -rn '/Limitations:/,/\*\/?$/p' drivers/pwm/*.c

so if you make sure your info is added accordingly that would be good.)

This is useful to answer questions like: Can I reasonably expect that a
disabled PWM respects the configured polarity.

Yes.

Best regards
