Subject: [RFC v2 1/2] backlight: pwm_bl: linear interpolation between values of brightness-levels

Setting use-linear-interpolation in the dts will allow you to have linear
interpolation between values of brightness-levels.

There are now 256 between each of the values of brightness-levels. If
something is requested halfway between 2 values, we'll use linear
interpolation.

This way a high resolution pwm duty cycle can be used without having to
list out every possible value in the dts. This system also allows for
gamma corrected values (eg: "brightness-levels = <0 2 4 8 16 32>;").

Patch based on the Alexandru M Stan work done for ChromeOS kernels.
