Re: [PATCH] leds: pca955x: Allow full control over led name

Pavel / Dan,

Related to this below email, Can this https://github.com/openbmc/linux/blob/dev-5.10/drivers/leds/leds-pca955x.c#L507 naming change ever ?.

If there is any change in https://github.com/openbmc/linux/blob/dev-5.10/drivers/leds/leds-pca955x.c#L507, then my config having led names would break.
So, please suggest me what is the right approach here for defining LEDs. I have all LEDs defined as 


    leds {
        compatible = "gpio-leds”;

I am being asked by Joel Stanley that I should not do that way, but instead, have the LEDs defined as PCA_955X_LED and if I do that, I have this concern with the led names.

Thanks,
Vishwa.
