[PATCH] backlight: pwm_bl: Set pin to sleep state when powered down

When the driver probes, the PWM pin is automatically configured to its
default state, which should be the "pwm" function. However, at this
point we don't know the actual level of the pin, which may be active or
inactive. As a result, if the driver probes without enabling the
backlight, the PWM pin might be active, and the backlight would be
lit way before being officially enabled.

To work around this, if the probe function doesn't enable the backlight,
the pin is set to its sleep state instead of the default one, until the
backlight is enabled. When the backlight is disabled, the pin is reset
to its sleep state.
