This definitely solves the issue! Since this fixes broken backlight (that, in turn, makes systems unusable), perhaps this should be included in the next rc cycle? Cheers!

You mean v4.11 final, as there probably won't be another rc? Yes!

Thanks for keeping our attention on this. I sent a PR yesterday (and hope my GPG key has attracted enough signatures).

I sent a PR yesterday (and hope my > GPG key has attracted enough signatures). Thank you, this morning I had already noticed it went upstream.

The move to a dedicated pwm_backlight_initial_power_state function in commit 7613c922315e308a6486d802abed2eb74443dffd modified the condition to set the enable gpio as output. This breaks specific use cases using that GPIO, such as tegra124-based nyan Chromebooks where backlight stopped working. This puts the condition back to the way it was before the move.
