No need for supply?

My comment stay valid. I don't think LEDs have channels, datasheet also
has nothing about channels, so again - use existing properties. Or
better drop it - I don't see any point in the name. The reg already
defines it.

However after dropping this, your example has nodes with only reg -
what's the point of them? Why no properties from common.yaml are
applicable? If they are not applicable, then the entire subnode should
be dropped - you don't need them to describe the hardware.

Best regards,
