Whilst it is strictly true that the delay you added to the driver is
currently between disabling the backlight and setting PWM value to 0 I
don't think the action should be described at this level of detail in
the DT bindings.

The semantic action that is being performed is "stopping the PWM". This
is currently implemented by setting the duty cycle to 0 and then calling
disable but that could change (especially so since the current behavior
looks asymmetric versus the enable sequence).
