[PATCH 4/4] video/backlight-pwm: properly handle the case of an empty 'brightness-levels' in the device tree.

[iw3gtf@arcor.de]

In case of an empty 'brightness-levels' array in the device tree or
a non empty one but containing only zeros the value of
'pwm_backlight->scale' would remain 0 possibly causing a division by zero
in the function compute_duty_cycle().

To fix it we check the computed value in case we actually have a 'brightness-levels'
array in the device tree otherwise we implicitly assume a simple array
of the form { 0, 1, 2, ..., 100 } and set the scale to 100.
