Specifying each individual brightness value via the "brightness-levels"
property can be a pain if we want to use a large continuous range of
brightness values. Add the property "max-brightness", which can be
given in place of "brightness-levels", that specifies that all values
between 0 and the given value can be used.

+Optional properties:
- brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. Typically these
are in the range from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do.
The actual brightness level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated
from these values. 0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the
last value in the array represents a 100% duty cycle (brightest).

-Optional properties:
+ - max-brightness: Instead of specifying a complete set of brightness
+ levels, a single maximum brightness value may be given. This indicates

+ values.

"pwms" property (see PWM binding[0])
