Other values should not be controller by default, at least not for this specific LED. If you want to change common LED bindings and LED maintainers agree, sure, that's different case. Your device does not require these default brightness/intensity properties... or at least you did not provide rationale why your device (not driver... you keep referring to driver for some reason) needs them. >> >>> + maxItems: 3 >>> + items: >>> + minimum: 0 >>> + maximum: 255 >>> + >>> + reg: >>> + description: | >>> + Which LED this node represents.
