Commit '88ba95bedb79 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Compute brightness of LED
linearly to human eye")' allows the possibility to compute a default
brightness table when there isn't the brightness-levels property in the
DT. Unfortunately the changes made broke the pwm backlight for the
non-DT boards.
Usually, the non-DT boards don't pass the brightness levels via platform
data, instead, it sets the max_brightness in their platform data and the
driver calculates the level without a table. The ofending patch assumed
hat when there is no brightness levels table we should create one, but this
is clearly wrong for the non-DT case.
After this patch the code handles the DT and the non-DT case taking in
consideration also if max_brightness is set or not.
