Hmm, ok, but what should the driver do with microamperes? As far as I
see, "enum led_brightness" (which is between 0-255) is used to set the
brightness to LEDs. I don't see any function accepting microamperes.

This is an index to the above brightness-levels array. It's not LED
brightness, but backlight brightness, between 0 and
ARRAY_SIZE(brightness-levels) - 1.
