I plan on saying maxItems: 7 (more discussion below)

My current plan was to ignore it. As you see it my later patch I'm 
(ab)using DP as a discrete gpio-led with a different function.

We could either a separate dp-gpios property or set maxItems to 8. Right 
now the driver won't do anything with either option.To actually do 
something in the linedisp driver we'd need to have a new character map 
that includes the extra LED.
