This is the process of my speculation.

This is a HiFive Unmatched/Unleashed LED-PWM layout

|______ |__________ > t

When VCC is high, the LED will be illuminated, which is an active-high
logic. This is why I want to remove "active-low".

For HW, we just focus on pwmcount/pwmcmp[0-3]
- pwmcount default is zero, that counter 0->1->0xffff
- Follow the origin algorithm the frac=0x0(on) / 0xffff(off) and when
the smaller the value of frac, the brighter the light.
   -- E.g. pwmcmp = 0x2, pwmcount 0x0->0x1->...->0xffff
       --- 0->0x2=low & 0x3->0xffff=high => 98%
   -- E.g. pwmcmp = 0xffff, pwmcount 0x0->0x1->...->0xffff
       --- 0->0xffff=low => 0%
- For SW, we reference the algorithm. (D=PW/T*100% D=duty_cycle,
T=period, PW=pulse width (pulse active time))
  -- when we consider HW behavior
  --- Direct writing SW frac into HW's pwmcmp is active low, so when
we want to get an active-high behavior that use a invert function.

If my understanding or deduction process is incorrect, please let me
know. Thank you.
