dt-bindings: leds: Read max-brightness from device tree

Normally, the maximum brightness is determined by the hardware, and this
property is not required. This property is used to set a software limit.
It could happen that an LED is made so bright that it gets damaged or
causes damage due to restrictions in a specific system, such as mounting
conditions.
Note that this flag is mainly used for PWM-LEDs, where it is not possible
to map brightness to current. Drivers for other controllers should use
led-max-microamp.
