Motion control using a DC motor, PWM, and encoders is such a well-studied
thing and so common that if your solution does not look just like everyone
else's solution there is likely a problem.

A way to think about PWM is that it controls motor torque.  You don't even
need to know if it is linear or not.  Just that more duty cycle makes more
torque.

I just noticed another post that confuses using PWM as a quasi-digital
signal and as a way to chop DC power.   In this use-case, there is no
signal. The PWM directly drives the gate of a MOSFET switch.
