DT is for concrete board and cpu, so it doesn't make sense to use wildcards in *.dts file names. > leds-lp50xx.c is a fine name to me. Apart of that, I've been also mulling over if we shouldn't go for single "color" sysfs file for setting r,g,b components at one go. I don't see any downsides. There is no risk that number of elements will grow, and the benefit will be an atomic way of setting color - the feature people are looking for. Vesa was mentioning the case where lack of it had been a real problem [0]. Let's check the usability of such interface. [0] https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/4/519 -- Best regards, Jacek Anaszewski
