[PATCH] leds: leds-mt6323: Adjust return/parameter types in wled get/set callbacks

Clang's kernel Control Flow Integrity (kCFI) is a compiler-based
security mitigation that ensures the target of an indirect function call
matches the expected type of the call and trapping if they do not match
exactly. The warning -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict aims
to catch these issues at compile time, which reveals:

 drivers/leds/leds-mt6323.c:598:49: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'int (*)(struct led_classdev *, enum led_brightness)' from 'int (struct led_classdev *, unsigned int)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]

 2 errors generated.

While 'unsigned int' is ABI compatible with 'enum led_brightness' (hence
no warning from -Wincompatible-function-pointer-types) and the callers
of these callbacks use/pass the values as 'unsigned int', the mismatch
between the prototype and the called function will trip kCFI at runtime.

Change the types in the implementations to match the prototypes, clearing
up the warning and avoiding kCFI failures.
