Fix the brightness control for I2C mode. Instead of
changing the full scale current register update the ALS target
register for the appropriate banks.

In addition clean up some code errors and random misspellings found
during coding.

Tested on Droid4 as well as LM3532 EVM connected to a BeagleBoneBlack

v3 - Removed register define updates - https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1114542/
Looks like starting with this patch in Linux next the LCD on droid4
is so dim it's unreadable even with brightness set to 255. Setting
brightness to 0 does blank it completely though.

Did something maybe break with the various patch revisions or are
we now missing some dts patch?
Maybe missing dts patch. We should provide maximum current the LED can
handle...
Or i2c control is somehow broken and only als control now works?

Let me test the next branch.

I did not see this when I wrote the patches on the Droid 4.

But I did not recheck Droid 4.
