Hello Dan,

Thanks for the check once again!

Right. Thanks for pointing that out.

This was related to my idea of using the node-names as unique keys.
Please see:

What would you expect the reg = <>; to describe from HW?

That depends on your location :)

This was my original reason for omitting the DT for BD71828 LEDs
altogether. LEDs are expected to be green and amber - but it is true
that PMIC can not ensure there will be no other colours.

Yes. As I wrote in cover-letter, the LED driver is pending until I see
how the RFC for adding LED node finding and some more common property
parsing to LED core is received by others. (Although I do understand if
you didn't read the cover-letter. It's quite a bunch of text and
reading it over and over again is no fun).

Yes, in MFD doc.
