+TI LMU LM3633 LED device tree bindings
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: "ti,lm3633-leds"
+
+Child nodes:
+  Each node matches with LED control bank.
+  Please refer to the datasheet [1].

leds/common.txt documentation says that child nodes represent discrete
LED elements.

+  Required properties of a child node:
+  - led-sources: List of enabled channels from 0 to 5.
+                 Please refer to LED binding [2].

led-sources property should contain always one element -
a control bank identifier that the iout is to be associated with.
For example, if there are three LEDs and they should be controlled
with control bank A, then the bindings should look as follows
(assuming that control bank identifiers start from 0 [A:0, B:1,
C:2, etc. - it has to be also explicitly stated in the documentation]:

My understanding is 'led-sources' means output channel rather than control bank. Output channel is visible and intuitive - just output LED.
On the other hand, control banks works inside the silicon, LM3633.
I'm not sure other LED devices have control bank or not, but output channel is common concept.


lvled1 {
	led-sources = <2>;
	led-max-microamp = <1000>;
}

lvled2 {
	led-sources = <2>;
	led-max-microamp = <29000>;
}

lvled3 {
	led-sources = <2>;
	led-max-microamp = <7000>;
}

For this reason, I don't understand this LED configuration - one output channel with multiple LED devices. LED child node should be matched with led class device. If three output channels are controlled by one control bank, then it should be represented as below.

lvled-group-A {
	led-sources = <0>, <1>, <2>;
	led-max-microamp = <some value>;
}

Please let me know if I misunderstand.

Best regards,
Milo
