pwm_backlight_update_status calls two callbacks before and after
applying the new PWM settings. However, the brightness scale is
completely changed in between if brightness levels are used. This patch
ensures that both callbacks are passed brightness values of the same
meaning.

I had to actually read this patch a number of times and then realized I
was completely missing the context. Looking at the whole function makes
it more obvious what you mean.

However I think it'd be much clearer if we just passed the value of
bl->props.brightness into the callbacks, that way we can avoid the
additional variable.
