Can you please provide a "grep . */*" from /sys/class/leds/ with the affected 
device? If I read the kernel doc for leds (which this device is), we don't 
need a num_levels for it:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/leds-class.txt;h=6399557cdab3d6542a0feea0c0cd2c6b2af5ffad;hb=HEAD

"... The brightness file will set the brightness of the LED (taking a value 
0-255). Most LEDs don't have hardware brightness support so will just be 
turned on for non-zero brightness settings. ..."
