But this is not really max_brightness now this is a feature and now
does not make sense in this context

You may need to use something different for this property or expose
a file in the driver.


Protocol for this board define 0x32 as brightness level.
This behaviur needed to keep backward compatibity.


Backwards compatibility to what?
With old/new boards.

You have in your driver the following:

+ * BRIGHTNESS	Can be 0x30 (OFF), 0x31 (ON).
+ * 		0x32 (Effect) can be used for 0x50 (leaking) and
+ * 		for 0x53 (blinking)

If your max-brightness DT property is to be used for controlling this,
then I don't see how it would be backward compatible with anything.

Clearly, you don't need max-brightness DT property at all.

For blinking you can use blink_set op. To be able to recommend
you anoptimal solution for the effect we would need more
details regarding its nature.

This is a new driver there should be no DT that has this compatible or
definition.

I will let Rob ack or nack this node.
