The merge window is still open at the moment, so you will need to
repost next week.

We might want to consider types here. led_classdev->max_brightness is
an unsigned int. Your callback returns int, so it could include
-EOPNOTSUPP, -EINVAL, -ENODEV etc. There is no check for an error
code, so max_brightness is going to end up ~ 2^32, and not work very
well.
