Only the Timer control register(TCLR) cannot be updated when the timer
is running. Registers like Counter register(TCRR), loader register(TLDR),
match register(TMAR) can be updated when the counter is running. Since
TCLR is not updated in pwm_omap_dmtimer_config(), do not stop the
timer for period/duty_cycle update.

  *   When counter matches with match register, the output goes down.

+ * Limitations:
+ * - When PWM is running and changing both duty cycle and period,
+ *   we cannot prevent in software that the output might produce
+ *   a period with mixed settings. Especially when period/duty_cyle
+ *   is updated while the pwm pin is high, current pwm period/duty_cycle
+ *   can get updated as below based on the current timer counter:
+ *   	- period for current cycle =  current_period + new period
+ *   	- duty_cycle for current period = current period + new duty_cycle.
