I _think_ you want:
brightness-levels = <0 3 255>;
num-interpolated-steps = <252>;
Specifically:
* It seems like you're intending to keep everything the same and just
have a more compact representation, right? Looking through the values
in '/sys/class/backlight/backlight' on minnie shows differences before
and after your patch.
* I think you want brightness of 0 to match to PWM level 0.
* If I put in printouts in the code with your table, I see:
pwm-backlight backlight: new number of brightness levels: 252
pwm-backlight backlight: i=0, j=0, lc=0, value=3
pwm-backlight backlight: i=0, j=1, lc=1, value=4
...
pwm-backlight backlight: i=0, j=250, lc=250, value=253
pwm-backlight backlight: lc=251, data->levels[i]=255
...as you can see, you end up missing assigning a value of 254.
