Mh, if someone is already using the led driver and updates to a newer kernel 
we would then turn on all leds per default to the maximum intensity during boot 
until they are set the way they should be from userspace. I don't know if this
is what we want? If yes, sure, we could set them to maximum per default.

Also if we want to use Percentage Values (%) for setting the intensity
I think this should also be done for the userspace interfaces and not only from DT. 
So at this time setting the RGB-LED to white is done like this:
echo "255 255 255" > /sys/class/leds/rgb\:led/multi_intensity
would then get 
echo "100 100 100" > /sys/class/leds/rgb\:led/multi_intensity
Again over here: If we would change it would break earlier Applications
from userspace. Just my thoughts. What do you think?

Best Regards,

   Sven
