[PATCH] pwm-backlight: allow for non-increasing brightness levels

[Mike Dunn]

Currently the driver assumes that the values specified in the brightness-levels
device tree property increase as they are parsed from left to right.  But boards
that invert the signal between the PWM output and the backlight will need to
specify decreasing brightness-levels.  This patch removes the assumption that
the last element of the array is the max value, and instead searches the array
for the max value and uses that as the normalizing value when determining the
duty cycle.
