When the PWM is re-enabled after being switched off, the backlight may flicker due to the backlight power being switched on while the PWM is still unconfigured. This is especially true if the PWM output is active low (assuming that the PWM output is low when the PWM is not enabled). Configure the PWM before switching backlight power on to prevent this.
