[PATCH 07/10] leds: class: Use correct type for brightness_hw_changed field

From: Armin Wolf

Date: Sun Oct 18 2026 - 09:57:07 EST


Device drivers can supply a unsigned integer using
led_classdev_notify_brightness_hw_changed(), but the associated
field can only store signed integers, leading to issues for very
large brightness values.

Fix this by using the correct type for the brightness_hw_changed
field.
