Please mention the device does not allow controlling brightness of leds
individually and that is why this property is at device level, not
individual led level.

I've just noticed that we have drivers/leds/leds-netxbig.c driver, which
also doesn't allow controlling the LEDs on extension board individually,
but it still does allow changing their brightness. I am leaning towards
allowing this also for this driver and adding similar comment in the
source code like at the line 218 of the aforementioned driver.
As a result this property wouldn't be required.

Also, why does it have "linux" prefix? It does not appear to control
any linux-specific functionality.
