Well .. brightness = LED_ON; is good usage. max_brightness = LED_ON is
IMO less readable than max_brightness = 1.

Looking at situation again... Having LED_ON and LED_FULL, with some
leds having max brightness of 1023, so LED_FULL is not really full
brightness any more... Maybe it is time to get rid of the enum, and
make it plain int. It does not really enumarate anything, and it does
not help readability, either.
