Commit Message

Use interpolated brightness tables (added by commit 573fe6d1c25
("backlight: pwm_bl: Linear interpolation between
brightness-levels") for veyron, instead of specifying every single
step. Some devices/panels have intervals that are smaller than
the specified 'num-interpolated-steps', the driver interprets
these intervals as a 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.

Changes in v2:
- added 0 as first step for devices/panels that require a minimum
  PWM duty cycle
- increased 'num-interpolated-steps' values by one, it's not the
  number of steps between levels, but that number +1

I guess if someone wanted to they could try to increase the number of
steps and see if they got prettier backlight transition, but what's
there now doesn't bother me and has the advantage of matching what has
been in use forever.  Thus:
