I don't expect breakage. We have more than 50 pwm drivers and only three
of them made use of adapting the passed state. So unless you do
something special with the PWM (i.e. more than backlight, LED or fan
control) I don't think a consumer might care. But it might well be that
I miss something so feel free to prove me wrong.

Best regards
Uwe
