[PATCH 1/2] backlight: lp855x: Initialize PWM state on first brightness change

From: Artur Weber
Date: Fri Jul 14 2023 - 08:14:55 EST


As pointed out by Uwe Kleine-König[1], the changes introduced in
commit c1ff7da03e16 ("video: backlight: lp855x: Get PWM for PWM mode
during probe") caused the PWM state set up by the bootloader to be
re-set when the driver is probed. This differs from the behavior from
before that patch, where the PWM state would be initialized on the
first brightness change.

Fix this by moving the PWM state initialization into the PWM control
function. Add a new variable, needs_pwm_init, to the device info struct
to allow us to check whether we need the initialization, or whether it
has already been done.
