Should have tried this before, but I actually did now. O:-)

If I move the attribute behind, I get this on a W=1 build:

    CC      drivers/leds/leds-pwm.o
  /home/alex/src/linux/leds/drivers/leds/leds-pwm.c:58:1: error: attributes should be specified before the declarator in a function definition
   static int led_pwm_add(struct device *dev, struct led_pwm_priv *priv,
   ^~~~~~

Because it won't build then, I'll keep it where it is.  Meanwhile I
worked on all the DT remarks by Rob and I will send v6 soon.
