pwm: stm32: Fix calculation of prescaler
A small prescaler is beneficial, as this improves the resolution of the duty_cycle configuration. However if the prescaler is too small, the maximal possible period becomes considerably smaller than the requested value. One situation where this goes wrong is the following: With a parent clock rate of 208877930 Hz and max_arr = 0xffff = 65535, a request for period = 941243 ns currently results in PSC = 1. The value for ARR is then calculated to ARR = 941243 * 208877930 / (1000000000 * 2) - 1 = 98301 This value is bigger than 65535 however and so doesn't fit into the respective register field. In this particular case the PWM was configured for a period of 313733.4806027616 ns (with ARR = 98301 & 0xffff). Even if ARR was configured to its maximal value, only period = 627495.6861167669 ns would be achievable. Fix the calculation accordingly and adapt the comment to match the new algorithm. With the calculation fixed the above case results in PSC = 2 and so an actual period of 941229.1667195285 ns.
