I'd rather see the brightness-levels table expressed in the native steps of the LEDs in the leds list. I know this means that the LEDs must have identical ranges but I think it is OK. A backlight design whose LEDs are connected to non-identical drivers is either badly broken or sufficiently exotic to need to special purpose driver. The driver can therefore fail to probe if the LEDs are mismatched. > + > + - default-brightness-level: The default brightness level (index into the > + array defined by the "brightness-levels" property). The brightness-levels property is optional... this text needs to be updated.
