The "atomic" API allows us to configure PWM period and duty_cycle and
enable it in one call.

The patch also moves the pwm_init_state just before any use of the
pwm_state struct, this fixes a potential bug where pwm_get_state
can be called before pwm_init_state.

Why do we ensure the PWM is off? Does this cause backlight flickers or 
make some of the code in pwm_backlight_initial_power_state() unreachable?

Could we have delayed applying the state until we know what the period 
is supposed to be? No other call to pwm_apply_state() has its error 
value checked... so if there are problems with the period we could 
detect them here.

Note also that we can guarantee the period is set before the probe 
completes then I think pb->period could be removed entirely. It was only 
really being carried around to help with calls to pwm_config() and these 
no longer exist.

No, I think that I can just remove that line.

Yes, I can move this code before 'if (!data->levels)' and call pwm_apply_state
after.

Right, I think that I can also remove pb->period. I'll send a second version soon.
