Subject: [PATCH 09/10] backlight: qcom-wled: Consistently use enabled-strings in set_brightness

The hardware is capable of controlling any non-contiguous sequence of
LEDs specified in the DT using qcom,enabled-strings as u32
array, and this also follows from the DT-bindings documentation. The
numbers specified in this array represent indices of the LED strings
that are to be enabled and disabled.

Its value is appropriately used to setup and enable string modules, but
completely disregarded in the set_brightness paths which only iterate
over the number of strings linearly.
Take an example where only string 2 is enabled with
qcom,enabled_strings=<2>: this string is appropriately enabled but
subsequent brightness changes would have only touched the zero'th
brightness register because num_strings is 1 here. This is simply
addressed by looking up the string for this index in the enabled_strings
array just like the other codepaths that iterate over num_strings.

This isn't true until patch 10 is applied!

Given both patches fix the same issue in different functions I'd prefer
these to be squashed together (and doubly so because the autodetect code
uses set_brightness() as a helper function).

Patch 9 and 10 were split up at a last resort to prevent a clash in the
title, apologies for that.

That's a fair reason, and solution I agree on. I'll figure out how to
generify the title and re-spin this patchset except if there are other
reviewers/maintainers I should wait for.
