Yes, I will modify the period value and send updated patch

> The value '78770' makes noise related to resonance at LCD board.

> The SMDK boards use LT3591 as backlight LED driver of LTE480WV LCD

>                       = 1/1MHz

Thanks for the explanation.

> You can find LT3591 datasheet easily on the Internet. Please refer to it

> Good luck.
Thanks you.
