[ Upstream commit d3f48ec0954c6aac736ab21c34a35d7554409112 ]

lm3630a_bank_a_update_status() and lm3630a_bank_b_update_status()
both return the brightness value if the brightness was successfully
updated. Writing to these attributes via sysfs would cause a 'Bad
address' error to be returned. These functions should return 0 on
success, so let's change it to correct that error.

[ Upstream commit 73fbfc499448455f1e1c77717040e09e25f1d976 ]

With commit 88ba95bedb79 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Compute brightness of
LED linearly to human eye") the number of set bits (aka hweight())
in the PWM period is used in the heuristic to determine the number
of brightness levels, when the brightness table isn't specified in
the DT. The number of set bits doesn't provide a reliable clue about
the length of the period, instead change the heuristic to:

 nlevels = period / fls(period)

Also limit the maximum number of brightness levels to 4096 to avoid
excessively large tables.

With this the number of levels increases monotonically with the PWM
period, until the maximum of 4096 levels is reached:

period (ns)    # levels

100    	       16
500	       62
1000	       111
5000	       416
10000	       769
50000	       3333
100000	       4096
