Understood,I thought there is some specific part number of the led
like all other led drivers in the same folder.

 I tried compiling the sample dts file(leds-ns2.dts)  using the dtc compiler .

dtc -I dts -O dtb -o leds-ns2.dtb leds-ns2.dts

but I am getting this error :

DTC: dts->dtb  on file "leds-ns2.dts"
Error: leds-ns2.dts:1.1-2 syntax error
FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree

Once it starts compiling fine I will modify it according to my
driver.Can I build the dtb and load it the way I load the kernel
driver.Do I have to do it before or after the insmod ?

Right now I dont want to build dts as well as driver as a whole kernel
and building it as a loadable module.
Thanks in advance

Rgds,
