For example, there are two platforms with the lm3530.
In project A, the name of led is used as 'lcd-backlight'.
And in project B, the led name is set to 'lcd-bl'.
If an user-space accesses different name each project/platform, then lm3530 led name should be changed.

If the name can be configurable in the platform data, then no driver change needed.

Thanks & BR
