No it don't.

I don't understand how this can help. I mean, the only issue is that at
startup the initial LED state is unknown. And the software brightness
value could be false. But once the LED is configured, the brightness
values for software and hardware are synchronized. The brightness value
is stored/cached in led_classdev and it can be retrieved by the user via
sysfs...

For my own knowledge, is there some interest in having brightness_get(),
aside of guessing the LED initial state ?

What does the embedded firmware is writing 255 or 0 into the brightness
sysfs attribute. The max_brightness value is ignored. After this patch,
writing 255 and 0 still allows to configure the LED in the same way:
maximum brightness or off. Thus, I believe there is no compatibility
issue.

But of course, I will update the firmware as well :)

Thanks,

Simon
