Note:
The number of assigned or controllable bits will have the ability to
provide full brightness control. Examples:
•
 For 10-bit operation, 000h = 0% brightness, and 3FFh = 100% brightness.

Going by the logic you stated, for a 10-bit control, the MSB and LSB
registers have to be written FFFFh to set 100% brightness with the last
6 bits dropped off by the hardware.

I don't like the way the spec leaves this to interpretation. Have you
experimented with both 0x0ABC and 0xABCD for the 12-bit, BYTE_COUNT==1
example you gave?

Sure. This patch should be good to go with answers to my questions. The
only thing remaining would be getting an ACK from Jani for adding a new
parameter for dynamic backlight control.
