Then you only need to be sure that the inactive level is already latched
to the pwmcmpXip output (which should only need one clock cycle if I'm
not mistaken) before disabling the clock.

No, the lock needs to protect more. You must at least cover increasing
and decreasing of user_count and you must hold the lock until the period
update is completed.

I don't know for sure. Given that period is shared for all four PWM
outputs it might be sensible to change it at least in a shadow variable
and only do it when actually needed. (But maybe we can postpone that as
it doesn't matter for correctness of the driver.)
The question here is: In the following snippet:
pwm0 = pwm_get(... the first pwm ...)
pwm_apply_state(pwm0, { .enabled = true, .period = 4000 });
pwm_apply_state(pwm0, { .enabled = false, .period = 8000 });
pwm1 = pwm_get(... the second pwm ...)
pwm_apply_state(pwm1, { .enabled = true, .period = 4000 });
pwm_apply_state(pwm0, { .enabled = true, .period = 8000 });
Which of the two last commands should fail?

I'd add some blame on the hardware. Something like:
/*
* When changing both duty cycle and period, we cannot prevent in
* software that the output might produce a period with mixed
* settings (new period length and old duty cycle).
*/
I'd say it makes sense to put this information at the top of the driver
to have it in a prominent place. Also point out the inability to provide
100% duty cycle and that the hardware is limited to inverted output.
Then all limitations are summarized in a single place.
Maybe this mismatch could be made less likely by changing the order of
the register accesses and a delay depending on pwms and old and new
settings. But I'd say this is too much for now and can be addressed
later when and if necessary.

This question is still open.

I didn't find this in the manual. When looking at Figure 6 and the
description of pwmdeglitch I have the impression that your statement is
wrong.
Setting pwmdeglitch only prevents the output from getting low during a
period, it can only go low when pwms overflows (i.e. the start of a
period). That's exactly what we want. Where is the misunderstanding?
If however you clear pwmdeglitch after an update, consider the following
series of events:
- Assume pwmcmpX is 0x4000 and pwms is 0x5000, so pwmcmpXip is high.
- You set pwmdeglitch and change pwmcmpX to 0x8000 while pwms advanced
only little. Then pwmcmpXip remains high.
- Then you clear pwmdeglitch at say pwms = 0x5020, this makes pwmcmpXip
fall which we should prevent.
Also note that when setting pwmdeglitch while configuring pwm0---if it
really had the behaviour you pointed out---would interfere with the
maybe running pwm1.
So I'm convinced keeping pwmdeglitch active always is the right thing to
do.
