Please use GPIOF_INIT flags if you want to turn off GPIO backlight.
If gbl->active is inverted, GPIOF_INIT_HIGH can be used as below:

	ret = devm_gpio_request_one(gbl->dev, gbl->gpio,
				    GPIOF_DIR_OUT | (gbl->active ?
				    GPIOF_INIT_LOW : GPIOF_INIT_HIGH),
				    pdata->name);

Best regards,
