Use interpolated brightness tables (added by commit 573fe6d1c25
("backlight: pwm_bl: Linear interpolation between
brightness-levels") for veyron, instead of specifying every single
step.

Another option would be to switch to a perceptual brightness curve
(CIE 1931), with the caveat that it would change the behavior of
the backlight. Also the concept of a minimum brightness level is
currently not supported for CIE 1931 curves.

I _think_ you want:

brightness-levels = <0 3 255>;
num-interpolated-steps = <252>;

Specifically:

* It seems like you're intending to keep everything the same and just
have a more compact representation, right?  Looking through the values
in '/sys/class/backlight/backlight' on minnie shows differences before
and after your patch.

* I think you want brightness of 0 to match to PWM level 0.

* If I put in printouts in the code with your table, I see:

pwm-backlight backlight: new number of brightness levels: 252
pwm-backlight backlight: i=0, j=0, lc=0, value=3
pwm-backlight backlight: i=0, j=1, lc=1, value=4
...
pwm-backlight backlight: i=0, j=250, lc=250, value=253
pwm-backlight backlight: lc=251, data->levels[i]=255

...as you can see, you end up missing assigning a value of 254.

Ideally yes, I thought we were missing 1 level due to the 0 step being
missing, but it's actually 2, since I interpreted 'num-interpolated-steps'
as the number between two values in the table, however it is this number +1.

For level 0 that was actually given, due to

pwm_backlight_update_status()
{
  ..
  if (brightness > 0) {
    ...
  } else
    pwm_backlight_power_off(pb);
  ...
}

but we're slightly off for the rest of the levels.

Thanks for investigating. With 'num-interpolated-steps' increased
by one this is fixed, though we are still missing one level at the
beginning of the table. I didn't expect 'brightness-levels = <0 3 255>'
to work, since there are less than 252/251 integer numbers between 0
and 3, but the code actually accounts for that case and just interprets
it as a single step, which is what we want.

Long story short: you are right, we want

brightness-levels = <0 3 255>;
num-interpolated-steps = <252>;
