Ok, you are right, I'll remove max-brightness and default-brightness from required properties list.
I think to change these properties, for the pwm dimming, into a clearer:

- brightness-levels (uint32)
- default-brightness-levels (uint32).

For example:

brightness-levels:
description:
Number of brightness levels. The actual brightness
level (PWM duty cycle) will be interpolated from 0 to this value.
0 means a 0% duty cycle (darkest/off), while the brightness-levels represents
a 100% duty cycle (brightest).
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32

default-brightness-level:
description:
The default brightness level (from 0 to brightness-levels)
$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32

Example:
brightness-levels = <10>;
default-brightness-level = <6>;

What do you think about this solution?

Thanks for your help,
