SubjectRE: [PATCH 1/2] leds-lm3530: comment correction about the range of brightness
IMHO it should be hidden inside driver. For example if hardware supports >8 bits for 
brightness then too we scale/map 0-255 to supported range in hardware.

In the previous patch, max brightness was limited to 127 because only 7 bits are used in the brightness register.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=bbe6453204c568723679212f6d0653b92b3d6244

With this patch, 128 ~ 255 is invalid range of brightness, so comment needs to be corrected.
(Even if the brt_val is greater than 127, the brightness will be set as max_brightness - 127)

Thanks & BR
