Sorry I didn't probably get you before. I now understood the scenario.

Leds on HiFive Unleashed are wired to supply instead of ground.
And as per ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-pwm.txt, you
need to provide additional property "active-low" in such case.

- active-low : (optional) For PWMs where the LED is wired to supply
rather than ground.

The leds will remain off by default when you add the "active-low"
property under the pwm-leds subnode in your DT file. So, this isn't a
bug in the driver code.
For DT file change, you may refer
https://github.com/yashshah7/riscv-linux/commit/dd55057a26150e50525643a423b20e07b72617b5

Can you test this at your end and confirm?
