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)

- num-interpolated-steps: Number of interpolated steps between each value

having to list out every possible value in the
brightness-level array.
