The pwm-backlight driver update status with this order:
pwm_config(pb->pwm, duty_cycle, pb->period);
pwm_backlight_power_on(pb, brightness);

So we call mtk_disp_pwm_config() first and then mtk_disp_enable().

At the first time we call mtk_disp_pwm_config() from the situation that
PWM is disable, we can't write registers because mdp->clk_mm isn't
enabled yet.

Revising code like this can get the right behavior.
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);
}
