In some Flash LED devices one LED can be connected to one or more electric current outputs, which allows for multiplying the maximum current allowed for the LED. Each sub-LED is represented by a child node in the DT binding of the Flash LED device and it needs to declare which outputs it is connected to. In the example below the led-sources property is a two element array, which means that the flash LED device has two current outputs, and the bits signify if the LED is connected to the output. Do your doubts stem from the ambiguity of the word "current" or the form of the description itself is unclear? Probably there should be explicit explanation added that the size of the array depends on the number of current outputs of the flash LED device. >> - label : The label for this LED.
