Hi Daniel,

I initially assumed that we would let user space configure these values
once the system has booted, but you are right that these should be
available in device tree.
 
The driver has two different LED banks that can be configured
independently. How do you feel about having a single property in
device tree populate the initial values for both banks? I propose that
we could use the property default-brightness-level for leda_init_brt
and ledb_init_brt in struct lm3630a_platform_data. The max-brightness
property can populate leda_max_brt and ledb_max_brt.

I need to look at other bindings this weekend to see if there are any
standard properties that I can use for leda_ctrl/ledb_ctrl, pwm_ctrl,
and pwm_period.
