That's not true since this commit:

commit 1bd465e6b0e2b559db47420fea686507a01cfab0

    leds: allow led-drivers to use a variable range of brightness values

    This patch allows drivers to override the default maximum brightness
value
    of 255.  We take care to preserve backwards-compatibility as much as
    possible, so that user-space ABI doesn't change for existing drivers.
    LED trigger code has also been updated to use the per-LED maximum.

but I missed that max_brightness is not initialized in the driver,
so the core will set it to LED_FULL (255) anyway.
