RE: [PATCH] drivers/video/backlight/lp855x_bl.c: fix settinginitial value for max_brightness and brightness

Thanks for this patch.

But it would be better if max_brightness of platform data is removed.
Actually, there is no need to use max_brightness in the platform data.
All LP855x devices have 8-bit brightness control register.
Simply, value of max_brightness can be set to 255.

I'll send the patch for this.

Thanks & BR
