I think the patchset is in the wrong order; the DT bindings
documentation should appear *before* the binding is
implemented (amoung other things this prevent transient checkpatch
warnings as the patchset is applied).

I think brightness-levels and default-brightness-level could be
optional properties since a default 1:1 mapping seems reasonable given
how constrained the LED brightness values are.
