For the whole set:

Acked-by: Jacek Anaszewski <jacek.anaszewski@xxxxxxxxx>

Lee - we need to create immutable branch for this set since there will
be some interfering changes in the LED core in this cycle.

I can create the branch and send the pull request once we will
obtain the ack from Rob for DT bindings, unless you have other
preference.
