The commit: a55944ca82d287ca099ca90413af857af9086773 has posed some extra
restrictions on blanking and unblanking frame buffer device.
Unfortunately, pwm_bl driver's probe did not initialize members of
struct backlight_device necessary for further blank/unblank operation.
This code in case of initial unblank of backlight device (default behaviour)
sets use_count to 1 and marks this particular backlight device as used
by all available fb devices (since it is not known during probe how much
and which fb devices will be assigned).
Without this code, the backlight works properly until one tries to blank it
manually from sysfs with "echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank".
Since fb_bl_on[0] and use_count were both set to 0, the logic at
fb_notifier_callback (@backlight.c) thought that we didn't turn on
(unblanked) the backlight device and refuses to disable (blank) it.
As a result we see garbage from fb displayed.

Thanks for the tip.
The mentioned patch:
commit a55944ca82d287ca099ca90413af857af9086773
Author: Liu Ying <[email protected]>
Date: Thu Apr 3 14:48:54 2014 -0700
backlight: update bd state & fb_blank properties when necessary
We don't have to update the state and fb_blank properties of a backlight
device every time a blanking or unblanking event comes because they may
have already been what we want. Another thought is that one backlight
device may be shared by multiple framebuffers. The backlight driver
should take the backlight device as a resource shared by all the
associated framebuffers.
This patch adds some logic to record each framebuffer's backlight usage
to determine the backlight device use count and whether the two
properties should be updated or not. To be more specific, only one
unblank operation on a certain blanked framebuffer may increase the
backlight device's use count by one, while one blank operation on a
certain unblanked framebuffer may decrease the use count by one, because
the userspace is likely to unblank an unblanked framebuffer or blank a
blanked framebuffer.
Could you provide more feedback regarding provided fix?
Thanks in advance,
Łukasz Majewski

Ok, I will add such information.
However, I'm more interested in some technical comments regarding
proposed fix.
Could you provide some feedback on the technical side of the patch?

The commit a55944ca82d2 ("backlight: update bd state & fb_blank properties
when necessary") has posed some extra restrictions on blanking and
unblanking frame buffer device.
Unfortunately, pwm_bl driver's probe did not initialize members of
struct backlight_device necessary for further blank/unblank operation.
This code in case of initial unblank of backlight device (default
behaviour) sets use_count to 1 and marks this particular backlight device
as used by all available fb devices (since it is not known during probe
how much and which fb devices will be assigned).
Without this code, the backlight works properly until one tries to blank
it manually from sysfs with "echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank".
Since fb_bl_on[0] and use_count were both set to 0, the logic at
fb_notifier_callback (@backlight.c) thought that we didn't turn on
(unblanked) the backlight device and refuses to disable (blank) it.
As a result we see garbage from fb displayed.

Yes, Jingoo replied to me and asked for correcting the patch

Ah, I see. You've attached the v4 to the original set.

The commit a55944ca82d2
("backlight: update bd state & fb_blank properties when necessary")
has posed some extra restrictions on blanking and unblanking frame buffer
device.
Unfortunately, pwm_bl driver's probe did not initialize members of
struct backlight_device necessary for further blank/unblank operation.
This code in case of initial unblank of backlight device (default
behaviour) sets use_count to 1 and marks this particular backlight device
as used by all available fb devices (since it is not known during probe
how much and which fb devices will be assigned).
Without this code, the backlight works properly until one tries to blank it
manually from sysfs with "echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank".
Since fb_bl_on[0] and use_count were both set to 0, the logic at
fb_notifier_callback (@backlight.c) thought that we didn't turn on
(unblanked) the backlight device and refuses to disable (blank) it.
As a result we see garbage from fb displayed.

The patch has been tested on i.MX6q with vanilla 4.9 kernel.
It applies on 4.10-rc1.
