Thanks for your patch!

Indeed. I think we should add kernel support for sharing GPIOs this way,
before we can describe the LEDs in DT.  Else we'll introduce a regression,
depending on which driver is bound first.

As this matches with an old local patch of mine:
Reviewed-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx>

However, I'm not gonna apply it, without a fix for the sharing issue.
