I'd like to see these named PCA9685_REG_ON_H etc.

I asked in the last round why you initialize val. You answered "just to
have it set to 0 in case regmap_read fails / val was not set." I wonder
if

ret = regmap_read(pca->regmap, LED_N_OFF_L(channel), &val);
if (!ret)
/*
val = 0

would be better then and also make the intention obvious.

If you round down here you should probably also round down in the
calculation of prescale. Also note that you're losing precision by using
state->period.

Consider the following request: state->period = 4177921 [ns] +
state->duty_cycle = 100000 [ns], then we get
PRESCALE = round(25 * state->period / 4096000) - 1 = 25 and so an actual
period of 4096000 / 25 * (25 + 1) = 4259840 [ns]. If you now calculate
the duty using 4096 * 100000 / 4177920 = 98, this corresponds to an
actual duty cycle of 98 * 4259840 / 4096 = 101920 ns while you should
actually configure 96 to get 99840 ns.

So in the end I'd like to have the following:

PRESCALE = round-down(25 * state->period / 4096000) - 1

(to get the biggest period not bigger than state->period) and

duty = round-down(state->duty_cycle * 25 / ((PRESCALE + 1) * 1000))

(to get the biggest duty cycle not bigger than state->duty_cycle). With
the example above this yields

PRESCALE = 24
duty = 100

which results in

.period = 4096000 / 25 * 25 = 4096000 [ns]
.duty_cycle = 100000 [ns]

Now you have a mixture of old and new with no consistent behaviour. So
please either stick to the old behaviour or do it right immediately.

Best regards
Uwe
