Turn on the panel from zero brightness of the last state, the panel was
set a maximum PWM in the flow. Once the panel initialization is completed,
the backlight is restored to xero brightness. There is a flckering
generated. This flicker happens in "Screen dimming and power off" of
Google's design and resume from sleep. The sample of DMESG is below.

Set the brightness to the minimum value when the brightness is less or
equal to the minimum value to mitigate this flickering.
