Please allocate memory dynamically, depending on the number
of LEDs defined in a Device Tree.

MAX_LEDs is three. Are you sure overhead of dynamic allocation is
worth it?

And if this is for RGB leds... very probably device will want to use
all 3 channels.


I was about to raise the same question during the v2 of this patch. In addition
to your arguments, this also changes the way this array is indexed.

Currently the LED number is used as index, but with dynamic allocation I have to
use an abstract index. This makes some logic a bit harder, especially to check
if the same LED is declared twice in the device tree (duplicated 'reg' property).

Fair enough. Please ignore my remark then.
