Not in the current state as the curve currently hardcode the fact the
first element have 0% duty and the last 100%. But relaxing this
limitation is probably better as it would also allow clamping the curve
like the lth_brightness parameter do when no curve is used.

I'll send a new patch implementing this soon.
