I agree. I think that led-sources-cnt is redundant. A list property
can be read using of_prop_next_u32 function. I missed that and thus
proposed putting led-sources-cnt in each sub-node to be able to read 
led-sources list with of_property_read_u32_array.

Effectively, I propose to avoid adding led-sources-cnt property.
