IMX8MP cannot use PWM backlight in U-boot

uboot version: 2020.04_5.4.70

Here is my device tree node description:

mipi_dsi_backlight: mipi_dsi_backlight {
compatible = "pwm-backlight";
pwms = <&pwm2 0 100000>;
status = "okay";
brightness-levels = <0 100>;
num-interpolated-steps = <100>;
default-brightness-level = <100>;
};

pinctrl_pwm2: pwm2grp {

fsl,pins = <

MX8MP_IOMUXC_GPIO1_IO09__PWM2_OUT 0x116

};

&pwm2 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_pwm2>;
status = "okay";
};

After compiling according to the above configuration, it is found that there is no PWM signal output. Do you want to know whether uboot supports PWM output?

Hello,

i.MX8 pwm driver is not supported in u-boot.
if you wants to use it, you will have to add it to u-boot by referring to pwm driver in linux.

Best regards,
Aldo.
