Ideally, the requested duty cycle should never translate to a PWM value higher than the selected resolution (PWM size), but currently the best matched period is never reported back to the PWM consumer, so the consumer will still be using the requested period which is higher than the best matched one. This will result in PWM consumer requesting duty cycle values higher than the allowed PWM value.
Currently, the consumer driver known to fail this way is the PWM backlight (pwm_bl) and should be reworked in such a way that the best matched period is used instead.
As for the current implementation of the duty cycle calculation, it is capping the max value, fix that by using the resolution to figure out the maximum allowed PWM value.

I have a patch under review, https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250213003533.1684131-1-anjelique.melendez@oss...., which adds support for 6-bit resolution for regular PWM so this capping problem will also become an issue for regular PWM. I think it would make sense for you to include fixing the max for regular PWM here. Thoughts?
