I am taking that back. I have added of_get_led() and devm_of_get_led() 
to the LED core to make it easier to get a LED from the DT. I modeled 
the interface like it is done for PWM, PHYs or clocks. The property 
containing list/array of phandle  is always named the same. To get one 
particular PWM/PHY/clock, a identifier (name or integer) must be provided.

So unless there is a strong incentive to do otherwise I's rather keep 
this name here.
