dt-bindings: backlight: mp3309c: Remove two required properties
The two properties:
- max-brightness
- default brightness
are not really required, so they can be removed from the "required"
section.
The "max-brightness" is no longer used in the current version
of the driver (it was used only in the first version).
The "default-brightness", if omitted in the DT, is managed by the
device driver, using a default value. This value depends on the dimming
mode used:
- for the "analog mode", via I2C commands, this value is fixed by
hardware (=31)
- while in case of pwm mode the default used is the last value of the
brightness-levels array.
Also the brightness-levels array is not required:
- in "analog mode", via I2C commands, the brightness-level array is
fixed by hardware (0..31).;
- in pwm dimming mode, the driver uses a default array of 0..255 and
the "default-brightness" is the last one, which is "255"
NOTE: there are no compatibility problems with the previous version,
since the device driver has not yet been included in any kernel.
Only this dt-binding yaml file is already included in the current
v6.7.0-rc1 kernel version.
No developer may have used it.
Other changes:
- improve the backlight working mode description, in the "description"
section
- update the example, removing the "max-brightness" and introducing the
"brightess-levels" property
