+The PWM Driver(bare-bone)
+=========================
+
+Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used to create an analog behavior
+digitally by controlling the amount of power transferred to the
+connected peripheral. This is achieved by controlling the high period
+(duty-cycle) of a periodic signal.
+
+User can change the period or duty cycle whenever PWM is running. The
+function pwm_set_parameters is used to configure these two parameters.
+Note these are raw register values and the parameter duty_cycle means
+the period of first half during one cycle, which should be not beyond
+total period value.
+
+In addition, user can also get multi PWM channels output from different
+peripherals at the same time, which is implemented more flexible by the
+function pointers.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+* Initialization/de-initialization
+* Enabling/disabling
+* Run-time control of PWM duty-cycle and period
+* Notifications about errors and one PWM cycle is done
+
+Applications
+------------
+
+Motor control, ballast, LED, H-bridge, power converters, and
+other types of power control applications.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+The peripheral which can perform waveform generation like frequency
+generation and pulse-width modulation, such as Timer/Counter.
+
+Concurrency
+-----------
+
+N/A
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+The current driver doesn't support the features like recoverable,
+non-recoverable faults, dithering, dead-time insertion.
+
+Known issues and workarounds
