Re-reading this I have spotted a couple of things I probably could have
mentioned against v1... sorry.
I think it's looking good though, I expect to be able to ack v3.

This is an in exact conversion because this code ignores a failure to
set the duty cycle to zero whilst pwm_apply_state() does not.
This would only matter if pwm_config() returns an error and given that a
PWM which does not support a duty cycle of zero is permitted to adjust
zero to the smallest supported value there is no *need* for a driver to
return an error here. In other words... this is a subtle change of
behaviour and perhaps (even probably) irrelevant.
However I'm still interested whether you did any work to confirm or
deny whether drivers that reports error on zero duty cycle actually
exist.

In principle the same subtle change applies here... but if pwm_config()
reported an error here then the backlight probably didn't work before
your change either so less need to worry about it!

It verges towards nit picking but I don't really like the way a half updated
state is shared between ...update_status and ...power_on.
I'd rather it looked something like:
pwm_get_state(pb->pwm, &state);
if (!state.enabled) {
pwm_backlight_power_on(pb); <-- no sharing here,
make on match off
} else {
pwm_backlight_update_duty_cycle(pb, &state, brightness);
pwm_apply_state(pb->pwm, &state);
}
(and have pwm_backlight_power_on() also call ...update_duty_cycle too)
Thoughts?
Daniel.
