Other than hoisting the pwm_enable() even earlier in the setup sequence 
this patchset seems to have a significant overlap with Enric's recent 
posting:

   https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/21/211

Any chance of a shared view on this, especially on the DT bindings?

The DT binding were discussed some time ago for the patch series I sent, though
there isn't a final ack from DT maintainer.

Lothar, the series I sent have been reviewed and acked, can you test if the
series fixes the problem for you too?

Thanks,

[PATCH 2/2] backlight: pwm_bl: add configurable delay between re-enabling PWM and switching backligh

[Lothar Waßmann]

When switching the backlight on, the LCD may need some time to adjust
to the configured PWM duty cycle. Add a configurable delay between
configuring the PWM and enabling the backlight regulator to account
for this.

The subject talks about turning on the backlight regulator, but this 
only talks about the PWM.

From my understanding "switching PWM on" = enabling the regulator.

I don't see any disparity here.  Or am I missing something?

The delay is from (re-)enabling the PWM (turning it on) to switching
backlight power on. That sounds like 2 different things to me.

The text should better read:
+  - turn-on-delay-ms: delay in milliseconds between configuring the PWM
+             and switching the backlight regulator on. This may be
+             required to eliminate flicker when switching the backlight

I read it as the delay being between "configuring the PWM" (still not
on) and "switching <the> PWM on" (enabling the regulator).

How is the regulator described in the datasheet?

Is it for the Backlight or the PWM?

It actually is a Power Control input of the LCD panel, that is
modeled as a fiexd-regulator in Linux.

[PATCH 1/2] backlight: pwm_bl: Enable PWM before switching regulator on

[Lothar Waßmann]

When the PWM is re-enabled after being switched off, the backlight may
flicker due to the backlight power being switched on while the PWM is
still unconfigured. This is especially true if the PWM output is
active low (assuming that the PWM output is low when the PWM is not
enabled).
Configure the PWM before switching backlight power on to prevent this.
