Subject: [PATCH 4.9 28/30] pwm-backlight: Enable/disable the PWM before/after LCD enable toggle.

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@...labora.com>

commit 5fb5caee92ba35a4a3baa61d45a78eb057e2c031 upstream.

Before this patch the enable signal was set before the PWM signal and
vice-versa on power off. This sequence is wrong, at least, it is on
the different panels datasheets that I checked, so I inverted the sequence
to follow the specs.

For reference the following panels have the mentioned sequence:
  - N133HSE-EA1 (Innolux)
  - N116BGE (Innolux)
  - N156BGE-L21 (Innolux)
  - B101EAN0 (Auo)
  - B101AW03 (Auo)
  - LTN101NT05 (Samsung)
  - CLAA101WA01A (Chunghwa)
