From deaeeda2051fa280884bf5769021bcdeae5de44e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 13:00:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] backlight: pwm_bl: Don't rely on a disabled PWM emiting inactive state MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Most but not all PWMs drive the PWM pin to its inactive state when disabled. However if there is no enable_gpio and no regulator the PWM must drive the inactive state to actually disable the backlight. So keep the PWM on in this case. Note that to determine if there is a regulator some effort is required because it might happen that there isn't actually one but the regulator core gave us a dummy. (A nice side effect is that this makes the regulator actually optional even on fully constrained systems.) This fixes backlight disabling e.g. on i.MX6 when an inverted PWM is used. Hint for the future: If this change results in a regression, the bug is in the lowlevel PWM driver.
