Sorry, you are not turning up via get_maintainer.pl and usually
subsystem maintainers are not CC'd for every DT device instance.
E.g. I do not want to be always CC'd for DT board file containing
a battery/charger. I'm quite surprised you want to be CC'd for
them, just looking at ARM DT files there are over 1000 instances
of leds.

The device is a medical patient monitor and these are alarm LEDs
informing about critical device or patient status. They are
referenced by their color (those are discrete LEDs, not a
multi-color one) basically everywhere. The only exception is
"silenced", which means that audible alarm is surpressed. I
don't think we have something comparable for any of those LEDs
in the mainline tree.
