Since I made the same mistake, I will pass along the pointer Thierry gave me.
In include/linux/pwm.h the second difference for an inverted signal is
described.
/**
* enum pwm_polarity - polarity of a PWM signal
* @PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL: a high signal for the duration of the duty-
* cycle, followed by a low signal for the remainder of the pulse
* period
* @PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED: a low signal for the duration of the duty-
* cycle, followed by a high signal for the remainder of the pulse
* period
*/
enum pwm_polarity {
PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL,
PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED,
};
Of course, I suspect not all PWM hardware respects this definition of
inverted output.
Either way, hacking the duty in software certainly would get the
high/low order wrong.
