Common leds properties.
+LED and flash LED devices provide the same basic functionality as current
+regulators, but extended with LED and flash LED specific features like
+blinking patterns, flash timeout, flash faults and external flash strobe mode.
+
+Many LED devices expose more than one current output that can be connected
+to one or more discrete LED component. Since the arrangement of connections
+can influence the way of the LED device initialization, the LED components
+have to be tightly coupled with the LED device binding. They are represented
+by child nodes of the parent LED device binding.
+
Optional properties for child nodes:
+- led-sources : List of device current outputs the LED is connected to. The
+ outputs are identified by the numbers that must be defined
+ in the LED device binding documentation.
- label : The label for this LED. If omitted, the label is
taken from the node name (excluding the unit address).
