Providing non numerical character indeed returns error, but afterwards
reading the pattern shows the sequence up to the moment of parsing
error, whereas it should return only new line character.

Moreover, providing improperly formatted pattern causes strange
behavior, where the last correct pattern is played, ending with
brightness 0, followed by max_brightness.

Please compare my tests with use of uleds tool (tools/leds),
which has max_brightness set to 100.

First list is the uledmon context, which reports timestamps along with
brightness changes, and the second one are operations on such
created 'vvv' LED class device.
