After commit a020f22a4ff5 ("pwm: jz4740: Make PWM start with the active part"),
the trick to set duty > period to properly shut down TCU2 channels did
not work anymore, because of the polarity inversion.

Address this issue by restoring the proper polarity before disabling the
channels.

Does this introduce a glitch?

Maybe. But the PWM is shut down before finishing its period anyway, so there was already a glitch.

Note that for disabled PWMs there is no official guaranty about the pin
state. So it would be ok (but admittedly not great) to simplify the
driver and accept that the pinstate is active while the PWM is off.
IMHO this is also better than a glitch.

If a consumer wants the PWM to be in its inactive state, they should
not disable it.

Completely disagree. I absolutely do not want the backlight to go full bright mode when the PWM pin is disabled. And disabling the backlight is a thing (for screen blanking and during mode changes).
