Some LEDs can be related to particular USB ports (common case for home
routers). This property allows describing such a relation.

This patch is based on top of commit 52e847dc431 ("DT: leds: Improve examples
by adding some context") sitting in the linux-leds.git (for-4.11).

I don't like this being USB specific. Either we should have a generic
way to link triggers to other DT nodes or the existing trigger property
should be used (and be capable of listing more than 1 port). I'd prefer
the latter as I don't think we need another way to specify triggers.

Hi Rob & thanks for your review.

Could you point me to "the existing trigger property" you meant, please? It's
not clear to me, sorry.
