"maximum value", "... and uses that as the scale to normalize the duty
cycle"?
Also please wrap commit messages at 72 characters.

Perhaps call this "scale"? Otherwise there some potential to mix it up
with max_brightness.

i should be unsigned int to match the type of data->max_brightness.

There should be a blank line above this one to increase readability.

Some here.
Also I suggest to just drop the max_ prefix from the local variables.
Perhaps also simplify all of it to something like:
for (i = 0; i <= data->max_brightness; i++)
if (data->levels[i] > pb->scale)
pb->scale = data->levels[i];
And get rid of the index altogether. That way you can use pb->scale
directly during the computation of the duty cycle and don't have to
index the levels array over and over again.
