APPLE_PWM_CTRL = 0 implies that the APPLE_CTRL_ENABLE bit is set low, which
turns off the pwm signal (constant low). I do not think that it is
necessary to explicitly
specify that case in the comments.

To make sure, you want the register named APPLE_PWM_CTRL, and the bits named
APPLE_PWM_CTRL_ENABLE, APPLE_PWM_CTRL_MODE and so on?
