Thanks for your review. I completely agree with you, I will address your
comments in V2. I just have one small question below.

We can set two parameters on this chip:

- The intensity of the current source (common to all LEDs) from 0 to
NCP5623_MAX_CURRENT (31)
- The PWM for each LED independently from 0 to NCP5623_MAX_STEPS-1 (31)

My understanding was to use the led-max-microamp property to set up the current
source so that even with a duty cycle of 100% (PWM=31) the LED cannot be
damaged. In this case, I think that is unnecessary to assert max_brightness, as
we are guaranteed by design that led-max-microamp will not be surpassed for any
value of the PWM. Would you suggest another approach?
