With only setting CONFIG_LEDS_LM3532=m to the next branch I get full 
brightness with 255.

I also see half brightness at 128 with the ramp down working.

I am not able to reproduce this issue on my device.

led-max-microamp is optional so there is no need to check the return.

full_scale_current should be 0 if not populated and in the init only if 
this variable is set does

the code program the register otherwise it is default of 20.2 mA.
