Subject: [PATCH] pwm-backlight: add "max-brightness" property

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.

 Required properties:

+  - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (index into the array

+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).
