RE: [PATCH v4 1/2] dt-bindings: backlight: Add MPS MP3309C

Hi Rob,

just a question about led-backlight.yaml and pwm-backlight.yaml
common properties.

As well as the brightness-levels property, also the default-brightness-level is in common
between led-backlight.yaml and pwm-backlight.yaml.
What do you think about removing it from both led-backlight.yaml and pwm-backlight.yaml, and
moving it into backlight/common.yaml?
