Yes I am adding these for this driver.
They adjust the individual brightness of each LED connected (what the HW guys called mixing).

The standard brightness sysfs adjusts all 3 LEDs simultaneously so that all 3 LEDs brightness are
uniform.

I did not think these belonged in the dt as they should be user space configurable

Sure I have no problem documenting them but where do I do that?
I am assuming Documentation/leds/leds-lp5024.txt

This looks to be where Milo did this before.
