Not really happy with the name... More below.

This would be a single bit, right? What about inverted bits (i.e. 0 is
on or 1 is on)?

Please group all required and optional properties under those headings.

Perhaps we can define a way to express unit address as offset+bit like
<offset>_<bit> or <offset>.<bit>.

I think we should get rid of the leds node and put this within the
syscon device node and each node here should have a compatible
property. I think the compatible should be something like
"register-bit-led" (perhaps someone has a better name) as syscon is
somewhat linux specific term and you could use this binding for any
LEDs that have a single register bit control.
