Based on this, could we disable it initially and update in the backlight_update_status function?
Like this,
if (pb->enable_gpio) { if (phandle && gpiod_get_direction(pb->enable_gpio) == GPIOF_DIR_OUT && gpiod_get_value(pb->enable_gpio) == 1) gpiod_direction_output(pb->enable_gpio, 1); else gpiod_direction_output(pb->enable_gpio, 0); }
And then update with props.brightness in backlight_update_status. I am not sure, maybe I miss something.
