It is surprising for a PWM consumer when the variable holding the
requested state is modified by pwm_apply_state(). Consider for example a
driver doing:
#define PERIOD 5000000
#define DUTY_LITTLE 10
...
struct pwm_state state = {
.period = PERIOD,
.duty_cycle = DUTY_LITTLE,
.polarity = PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL,
.enabled = true,
};
pwm_apply_state(mypwm, &state);
...
state.duty_cycle = PERIOD / 2;
pwm_apply_state(mypwm, &state);
For sure the second call to pwm_apply_state() should still have
state.period = PERIOD and not something the hardware driver chose for a
reason that doesn't necessarily apply to the second call.
So declare the state argument as a pointer to a const type and adapt all
drivers' .apply callbacks.
