The commit message sounds a bit obscure to me. You say the led_brightness enumeration is or rather will become obsolete. I don't understand the reason given "led class now supports max_brightness". What does that mean?

Also I do not understand the approach here. If the enum is obsolete why not start with the APIs using it like the led callbacks brightness_{get,set{,_blocking}}. I suspect that is your next step, but it seems like unnecessary churn to me.

Anyway, what triggered me to look at this is the fact that we do have a led.c under drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmsmac implementing the brightness_set() callback.
