I revise these two lines 
if (pb->enable_gpio)
	gpiod_direction_output(pb->enable_gpio, 0);
into
if (pb->enable_gpio) {
	if(gpiod_get_value(pb->enable_gpio) = 0)
		gpiod_direction_output(pb->enable_gpio, 0);
	else
		gpiod_direction_output(pb->enable_gpio, 1);
}

I am not sure what "phandle" is working for.
My change is like your patch but remove the "phandle related" and
"gpiod_get_direction(pb->enable_gpio) = GPIOF_DIR_OUT".
Do we really need these?

Also, do you think it is right that I do the "pwm_enable(pb->pwm);"
before "gpiod_set_value(pb->enable_gpio, 1);" in power on function?
