[RESEND PATCH v3 2/4] dt-bindings: pwm-backlight: add a num-interpolation-steps property.
From: Enric Balletbo i Serra
Date: Mon Apr 09 2018 - 04:34:45 EST
The num-interpolated-steps property specifies the number of
interpolated steps between each value of brightness-level table. This is
useful for high resolution PWMs to not have to list out every possible
value in the brightness-level array.
