I think the LEDs need a unique node > name (unless I'm not understanding something). You are confusing DTS labels and node names. Labels are global and just convenience for the DTS source only instead of using full paths (and can be anything you want).

This is one of the problems with the GPIO sysfs interface and why it is being replaced with the char dev interface.

For instance, I get an error if the > LEDs reference "a10sr-gpio" but "a10sr_gpio" compiles ok. Again, I'm talking node names. You are talking labels. And yes, DTS labels can't use '-'.
