I have added a printk inside is31fl319x_brightness_set but never got
a difference between brightness and led_cdev->brightness.

This seems to confirm that it is already set to the new value. Thus we
can't detect changes in brightness by comparing to the previous value.

Can you please confirm?

Otherwise the driver works well so that I am almost ready for posting
V2.

Thanks,
Nikolaus
