The pwm-crc code is using 2 different enable bits: 1. bit 7 of the PWM0_CLK_DIV (PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE) 2. bit 0 of the BACKLIGHT_EN register The BACKLIGHT_EN register at address 0x51 really controls a separate output-only GPIO which is earmarked to be used as output connected to the backlight-enable pin for LCD panels, this GPO is part of the PMIC's "Display Panel Control Block." . This pin should probably be moved over to a GPIO provider driver (and consumers modified accordingly), but that is something for an(other) patch. Enabling / disabling the actual PWM output is controlled by the PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE bit of the PWM0_CLK_DIV register. As the comment in the old code already indicates we must disable the PWM before we can change the clock divider. But the crc_pwm_disable() and crc_pwm_enable() calls the old code make for this only change the BACKLIGHT_EN register; and the value of that register does not matter for changing the period / the divider. What does matter is that the PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE bit must be cleared before a new value can be written. This commit modifies crc_pwm_config() to clear PWM_OUTPUT_ENABLE instead when changing the period, so that period changes actually work. Note this fix will cause a significant behavior change on some devices using the CRC PWM output to drive their backlight. Before the PWM would always run with the output frequency configured by the BIOS at boot, now the period time specified by the i915 driver will actually be honored.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
