Sorry for my terrible expression. Let me try again.
1. We want to disable unnecessary clock at runtime. 
But, I get backlight glitch when I disable clk_main or clk_mm in
mtk_disp_pwm_config(). So both clocks are necessary and we don't disable
them at runtime. 

2. Because pwm-backlight driver calls mtk_disp_pwm_config() before
mtk_disp_pwm_enable(), we will lose the first config if clocks are
enabled in mtk_disp_pwm_enable(). I prefer to enable clocks in probe
function. Samsung did the same way in their pwm driver.

Thanks for your kindly suggestions. I will update the patch soon.
