In one of my config files setups I have
# connect spindle brake to I/O controller newsig SpindleBrakeOn bit linksp SpindleBrakeOn <= ppmc.0.dout.02.out linksp SpindleBrakeOn => motion.spindle-brake and it sends the brake signal to digital output 2. Assuming this is a fail-safe brake, it would be braking without power, so you have to apply power to the brake to disengage it. Check your HAL configs files for anything connected to the signal : motion.spindle-brake and if you can't find any, then that has to be the problem.
