Okay.

I think the binding can be simplified a bit to just this:

multi-led {
    compatible = "leds-group-multicolor";
    color = <LED_COLOR_ID_RGB>;
    function = LED_FUNCTION_INDICATOR;
    
    leds = <&red_led>, <&green_led>, <&blue_led>;
};

The individual color should be defined in the parent LED node (e.g. 
red_led). You can either look up the color or the index in 'leds' 
defines the color.

Also, I don't think 'max-brightness' here makes sense. That's a property 
of the parent LED.
