+
+ led_brightness = requested_value * led_color_intensity/led_color_max_intensity

+Description: read/write
+ The led_color directory is dynamically created based on the
+ colors defined by the registrar of the class.
+ The value for the led_color is defined in the
+ include/dt-bindings/leds/common.h. There is one directory per
+ color presented. The intensity file is created under each
+ led_color directory and controls the individual LED color
+ setting.

+Description: read only
+ Maximum intensity level for the LED color, default is
+ 255 (LED_FULL).
+
+ If the LED does not support different intensity levels, this
+ should be 1.

How about:
led_brightness = brightness * <color>_intensity/<color>_max_intensity

We no longer have led_color directories so this description needs
to be adjusted.
And I'd not mention where the colors are defined. This is documentation
for the user, who does not need to know about implementation details.

Mentioning the default value here is pointless IMO. Userspace cannot
change it anyway.

This is less relevant for MC class, and also it is rather obvious.
I'd skip this sentence.

I thought I updated this but I will re-write this
