User can figure it out by checking the existence of the
flash_sync_strobe attribute. Sub-leds can by synchronized only
when are driven by common chip. It is assumed that sub-leds of
one chip will have common segment in their name, defined in
DT 'label' property. Maybe we should enforce it by adding another
property to the leds/common.txt DT binding, e.g. 'device-prefix'?
