regulators also do not have reg, so I guess consistency is already gone.

I vote here to reflect the real hardware/device which means:
1. IIUC, the design of entire SPMI bindings and its implementation is
around parent device sitting on SPMI bus and children using its
regmap/io space.
2. The children are not really re-usable for different cases/devices
(e.g. standalone WLED or LPG, outside of PMIC).
3. This means entire design is tightly coupled and LPG (or wled,
regulators) bindings describe the piece of PMIC, thus I find appropriate
skipping "reg".
4. If we want to keep the "reg", then it should rather reflect reality,
so if Dmitry said - multiple items for separate IO address ranges.

Anyway this patch has to be resent to properly reach DT patchwork.

Bhupesh,

Please use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to Cc relevant folks and mailing
lists. While resending, add appropriate device prefix to subject, so:
dt-bindings: leds: qcom-lpg:


Best regards,
Krzysztof
