The order of Signed-off-lines is supposed to be in the order that people
touched the patch during submission. So your S-o-b line should be last
and it should ideally use the email address you use for sending out the
patch.

This opposes the use case that the bootloader setup the pwm-backlight to
show a splash screen that is simply taken over by Linux without
flickering, right?

Otherwise the commit log should motivate why "the module takes the
default state" is better than the status quo and what this default state
is.
