'brightness' is usually an index into a table of duty_cycle values, where the value at index 0 may well be non-zero (tegra30-apalis-eval.dts and tegra30-colibri-eval-v3.dts are real-life examples). Thus brightness == 0 does not necessarily mean that the PWM output will be inactive. Check for 'duty_cycle == 0' rather than 'brightness == 0' to decide whether to disable the PWM.
