The PWM period will be set when calling pwm_config. Remove this useless call to pwm_set_period, which might mess up with the initial PWM state once we have added proper support for PWM init state retrieval.

As far as I remember this line is there in order to pass in a period if the backlight driver is initialized from board setup files. In such a case there won't be an period associated with the PWM channel in the first place. I think even with the introduction of a default period, we'd be missing out on the board setup case because there is no standard place where it is being set, so it must come from the platform data.
