[PATCH v3 2/4] mfd: aat2870: Derive brightness steps from max current

From: Svyatoslav Ryhel

Date: Tue Oct 13 2026 - 15:56:24 EST


The AAT2870 allows only 32 steps of brightness, with this amount defined
by the maximum supported current. Remove the need for max_brightness by
calculating the allowed number of steps from the maximum current.
