I'm not sure, what needs updating. The properties 'function' and 'color' are 
already documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.yaml … the 
only thing I can think of here is updating the examples? That would be nice, 
as would be updating to yaml, but I don't see the strong relation, yet.

Is there some guidance on that in general?
