OK, I looked at the datasheet for this controlled. The controlled can
control 3 LED strings, each having several LEDs connected in series.
But only 2 different brightnesses can be set (control bank), so for each
string there is a register setting which control bank should control it.

The Control Bank is set via the `reg` DT property (reg=0 means
Control Bank A, reg=1 means Control Bank B). The `led-sources`
property defines which strings should be controlled by each bank.

So I think this variable name should stay num_leds (as in number of leds
in this control bank).
The structure though should be renamed:
  struct lm3697_led  ->  struct lm3697_bank.

This should be named num_banks.

This variable should be named banks, i.e.:
  struct lm3697_bank banks[];

Ultracoolguy is correct that this for cycle should not iterate
LM3697_MAX_CONTROL_BANKS. Instead, the count check in lm3697_probe should be changed from

  if (!count)
to
  if (!count || count > LM3697_MAX_CONTROL_BANKS)

(the error message should also be changed, or maybe dropped, and the
error code changed from -ENODEV to -EINVAL, if we use || operator).
