I think there is something wrong about mdp->clk_mm(generate the PWM signal) and mdp->clk_main(access PWM registers). If we want to write the register, we should enable both clocks before. I try it in this way. mtk_disp_pwm_config() { clk_enable(mdp->clk_main); clk_enable(mdp->clk_mm); /* write registers */ clk_disable(mdp->clk_mm); clk_disable(mdp->clk_main); } with A: mtk_disp_enable() { clk_enable(mdp->clk_main); clk_enable(mdp->clk_mm); /* write enable bit */ clk_disable(mdp->clk_mm); } or B: mtk_disp_enable() { clk_enable(mdp->clk_main); clk_enable(mdp->clk_mm); /* write enable bit */ clk_disable(mdp->clk_main); } I both get backlight glitch with "A" or "B". So I think we should keep clocks enabled.
