If this identifies the group, what identifies the actual LED? There
are four of them. How do i say LEDs 0 and 1 are unused, 2 and 3 are
wired to LEDs?

It would be much more usual for reg to be the LED number for the
port. And there then be a group property indicating what group the LED
belongs to. However, i'm wondering, is group fixed? Do we actually
need it in DT, or can there just be a table in the driver which maps
port:led to group?
