I've just noticed that this is wrong, since LED subsystem
brightness type is enum led_brightness, i.e. int.
LED_FULL (255) value is a legacy enum value that can be overridden
by max_brightness property.

Please submit a fix so that I could merge it with the original
patch before sending it upstream.

Thanks,
