Thanks for your patch, which is now commit d7bff84fe7ed8c3b ("pwm:
Ensure for legacy drivers that pwm->state stays consistent") in
pwm/for-next.

This commit broke the backlight on the Atmark Techno Armadillo 800 EVA
board (arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7740-armadillo800eva.dts), which now shows a
black screen.  Reverting the commit fixes the problem.

Do you have an idea what is wrong, and how to fix it?
Anything I can do to investigate?

Thanks!
