[PATCH v4] backlight: pwm_bl: Disable PWM on shutdown, suspend and remove

Since commit 00e7e698bff1 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Configure pwm only once
per backlight toggle") calling pwm_backlight_power_off() doesn't disable
the PWM any more. However this is necessary to suspend because PWM
drivers usually refuse to suspend if they are still enabled.

Also adapt shutdown and remove callbacks to disable the PWM for similar
reasons.

Fixes: 00e7e698bff1 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Configure pwm only once per backlight toggle")

Hello,

Changes since v3 (available at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fbdev/20230926150116.2124384-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de):

 - Fix buildfailure identified by the kernel test robot. (*Sigh*, that's
   what you get if you improve a patch without build testing ...)
 - Fix the Subject to also mention "remove".

Best regards
Uwe
