Required properties:
- compatible: "pwm-backlight"
- pwms: OF device-tree PWM specification (see PWM binding[0])
- - brightness-levels: Array of distinct brightness levels. Typically these
- are in the range from 0 to 255, but any range starting at 0 will do.
- The actual brightness level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated
- from these values. 0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the
- last value in the array represents a 100% duty cycle (brightest).
- - default-brightness-level: the default brightness level (index into the
- array defined by the "brightness-levels" property)
