without running the  f = clamp(fxp >> pn, 1, 255); in the next line.

This would fix with pn >= pn_min in for loop.

We guarantee that the break statement will be called and pn won't be pn_min
- 1
because we check (fxp_min < (1 << pn_min) || (255 << pn_max) < fxp_max)
before
entering this for loop.

Here is better test case than 0xABCD
0xFFFF with 6, 12, 16 shows very bright screen with same brightness in all
case. (All 100%)
0x0FFF with 6, 12, 16 bits shows dim screen. 6 bit case is slightly dimmer
than other case.
Note that the brightness are 4.76% / 6.23% / 6.25% in 6 / 12 / 16 bits case.
