Subject: Are LED functions strings or uint32 in
 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.yaml

Hello,

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/common.yaml [1] describes a
uint32 but the $ref is for a string, for "function". What's going on
there? Also what is the reasoning for that sort ordering [2] in the
examples, are we saying that gpios is like a register and function or
default-state is a kind of status?
