I think the previous behavior was a (minor) bug: how can there be default brightness level if there 
are no brightness levels? The led-backlight.txt is a bit lacking (another thing to improve...) but 
led-backlight mimics pwm-backlight, and pwm-backlight.txt says

default-brightness-level: The default brightness level (index into the array defined by the 
"brightness-levels" property)

But I agree, it's a change, so good to mention.
