I agree, this is kind of weird. Maybe we should have a device-specific attribute (on the platform device level) that allows controlling overall brightness, but I think LEDs should be just on/off with max brightness of 1. Userspace should not have to be aware about the fact that on that particular device LEDs are not completely independent as far as their brightness goes.
