Commit '88ba95bedb79 ("backlight: pwm_bl: Compute brightness of LED
linearly to human eye")' allows the possibility to compute a default
brightness table when there isn't the brightness-levels property in the
DT. Unfortunately the changes made broke the pwm backlight for the
non-DT boards.

Usually, the non-DT boards don't pass the brightness levels via platform
data, instead, they set the max_brightness in their platform data and the
driver calculates the level without a table. The ofending patch assumed
that when there is no brightness levels table we should create one, but this
is clearly wrong for the non-DT case.

After this patch the code handles the DT and the non-DT case taking in
consideration also if max_brightness is set or not. The default table is
only created when neither, brightness-levels and max_brightness, are
set.

The patch also fixes another issue found by Robert. Before this patch
looks like a division by 0 was possible when state.period returned 0 by
pwm_get_state(). This is because pwm_get_state() was called before
pwm_apply_args() so state.period was not initialized. The patch moves
the pwm_apply_args() call before any call to pwm_get_state().

human eye")'
