Whenever num-interpolated-steps was larger than the distance
between 2 consecutive brightness levels the table would get really
discontinuous. The slope of the interpolation would stick with
integers only and if it was 0 the whole line segment would get skipped.
Example settings:
brightness-levels = <0 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256>;
num-interpolated-steps = <16>;
The distances between 1 2 4 and 8 would be 1, and only starting with 16
it would start to interpolate properly.
Let's change it so there's always interpolation happening, even if
there's no enough points available (read: values in the table would
appear more than once). This should match the expected behavior much
more closely.
