This already has a type defined. Please add it to backlight/common.yaml
and remove from led-backlight.yaml and pwm-backlight.yaml.

You say 0-255 here, but your example is 0-10. One of those seems wrong.
Anyways, don't define constraints in prose, use a schema:

items:
maximum: 10 (or 255?)

Already has a type. You need to reference backlight/common.yaml.
