Unfortunately, it also resets the PWM IP block and setups it again (by
writing to PWMCR register). In that function we setup for example MX3_PWMCR_DOZEEN
and MX3_PWMCR_DBGEN. Why cannot we setup polarity as well?

I've double checked the backlight and pwm code flow.

Please find following snippet:

[ 0.135545] ######### imx_pwm_probe
[ 0.135581] PWM supports output inversion
[ 0.136864] ######### pwm_backlight_probe
[ 0.136913] backlight supply power not found, using dummy regulator
[ 0.136984] ######### imx_pwm_set_polarity 1
[ 0.136995] imx_pwm_set_polarity: polarity set to inverted cr: 0x40000 0xf08f8000
[ 0.137005] #########0 imx_pwm_config_v2 cr: 0x40000
[ 0.137683] #########1 imx_pwm_config_v2 cr: 0x0 0xf08f8000
[ 0.137693] #########2 imx_pwm_config_v2 cr: 0x1c20050
[ 0.137702] #########3 imx_pwm_config_v2 cr: 0x1c20050 0xf08f8000
[ 0.137711] @@@@@@@@@@ pwm_apply_state

Here the pwm_backlight_probe calls set_polarity callback available in
pwm - the polarity is set (the 0x40000 value).

The above operation is performed in pwm_apply_state (@ drivers/pwm/core.c).
In the same function, latter we call the pwm->chip->ops->config(), which is the
pointer to config_v2.
Since the PWM is not yet enabled, this function performs SW reset and
PWM inversion setting is cleared.

Possible solutions:

1. Leave the original patch from Bhuvanchandra as it was (I'm for this
option)

2. Enable early PWM (in core, or in bl driver) so the config_v2 is not
calling SW reset on the PWM. (but this solutions seems _really_ bad to me)

3. Perform defer probe of pwm backlight driver (pwm_bl.c) until the pwm
is fully configured (it might be a bit tricky).
