I am okay with fixing the comment and commit message. Is the 25%
arbitrary or based on the distances between the possible values? Please
make a note in the comment if it's the former.

Is there a reason this is not pn >= pn_min?

If the number of brightness control bits are changing, the max.
brightness value changes too.

Please see intel_dp_aux_setup_backlight().
