This can cause backlight flicker on boot e.g. in case the GPIO should not be enabled before the PWM is configured and is correctly pulled low by external resistor. Fix this by extending the current check to differentiate between backlight GPIO enable set as input and set as direction unknown. In case of input, read the GPIO value to determine the pull resistor placement, set the GPIO as output, and drive that exact value it was pulled to. In case of unknown direction, retain previous behavior, that is set the GPIO as output-enable.
