Yep, you're probably right, we should let the PWM user take care of re-applying the PWM state, because it's the only one having enough knowledge about what the PWM is really driving to take a wise decision. This goes against my patch adding suspend/resume hooks to the pwm-atmel-hlcdc driver, but we can easily drop the call to atmel_hlcdc_pwm_apply() in ->resume() once we have patched the pwm-backlight driver to take care of that.
