WLED3 has a 16-bit brightness register pair per string, at 0x40 + 2*n,
which is what the pm8941-wled driver wrote to:

	rc = regmap_bulk_write(wled->regmap,
			wled->addr + WLED3_CTRL_REG_VAL_BASE + 2 * i,
			v, 2);

The restructuring for WLED3 turned that into WLED3_SINK_REG_BRIGHT(n),
defined as 0x40 + n, so the two byte writes for consecutive strings
overlap: string 1 overwrites the MSB of string 0 with its own LSB, and
with the default three strings only string 1 ends up with the requested
value.

Use the 2 byte stride.

You said 2 in the commit message and you set it to 2 in patch 4
