I guess there's some email issues happening, but just to clarify:

When the spec says MSB in caps here it clearly means
"most significant-bit(s)" since otherwise "8 MSB" would not make
any sense in the context of a 2 byte value.

Granted the spec is crap here since "Table 1-1: Acronyms and
Initialism" does claim "MSB" should be byte(s) and "msb" bit(s).

Also I can't imagine anyone would allocate the bits starting
from the lsb when the whole thing is clearly supposed to be a
16bit big endian integer. So with >8 assigned bits you'd end
up with crazy stuff like this:

[ 7 ... 0 ][7 ... 0]
[ 8 MSB ][XXXX][N LSB]

so you couldn't even treat the value as a regular big endian
thing. Instead, if you squint a bit, it now looks like a funky
little endian value. So we're deep into some mixed endian land
where nothing makes sense anymore.

Anyways I think the code should simply do this to match the spec:
u16 value = brightness << (16 - num_assigned_bits);
val[0] = value >> 8;
val[1] = value & 0xff;
