[PATCH v2 1/1] leds: Adjust documentation of brightness sysfs node

[Andy Shevchenko]

Adjust documentation of brightness sysfs node about accepted value range.
The code accepts only decimal values. We may not relax that due to different
readings for, e.g., octal 0100, which becomes 64 instead of currently parsed
100.

Lee, Can we have this being applied? Perhaps even for this (v7.1) cycle.
