max_channel is never set so not sure where that is supposed to come from 
since each child device has different number of channels.  And if the 
user has to populate that information from the DT then it does not make 
sense as the user would already be aware of the number of channels.  
This information would have to come from the child device some how and 
the children do not have access to the structure to set it.

In checking the chan_nr to the max_channels you are comparing a pointer 
to an integer.  Easy fix but did not solve the registration issues.

cfg->num_colors is not set anywhere so the registration always goes to 
base led_registration.  Unless we key off a different value to determine 
to register to multicolor class or not.  Or we default this to the 
multi_class registration to figure out how to register based on 
available_colors.

That is what I am seeing so far in my debugging and I still don't have 
it working.
