They do not refer to the same thing:
* NCP5623_MAX_STEPS is the maximum number of PWM steps (0x1F -> 100% duty cycle)
* NCP5623_MAX_CURRENT is related to the current delivered by the current source
(0x1F -> ILED = ILEDmax = 2400*Iref). In this case, 30 and 31 give the same ILED
according to the remark in Eq. 2 and according to Fig. 5 in the datasheet, but
31 is still a valid value.

There is indeed a problem in the case the allowed current on the LED is greater
than the effective current provided by the current source, as in your example.
Here I should put something like:
led->ldev.max_brightness =
min(NCP5623_MAX_STEPS, x * NCP5623_MAX_STEPS / y);

This is a good proposition, especially with the DIV_ROUND_UP proposed by Pavel.
I simulated both and I noticed a problem in both cases for very low currents, as
we would have negative values for the register setting (see attached figure). I
will fix this in the next version.

Here you are mixing the current source and the PWM settings together. For
example, if my current source was set to 20mA at the previous stage, but my LED
can only sustain 10mA, I must limit the PWM duty cycle to 50%. Thus:
max_brightness = 10mA * 31 / 20mA = 15
(0 => 0% duty cycle, 31 => 100% duty cycle)
