No description on the reg here.  Assumed to be the i2c address?

I have written a few of these drivers that have control bank support to control.  We have
been defining the reg property as the control bank id

reg 0 - Control bank A
reg 1 - Control bank B

Then use the led-sources to define what outputs are associated with which control bank.

This way the hardware can just have CB B enabled without CB A.

something like below would allow just control bank B to be enabled.

led@1 {
	reg = <1>;
	label = "main-lcd";
	default-brightness = <200>;
	max-brightness = <255>;
};

This would connect control bank B to control bank A.  Or just use a flag to denote to connect them
and not use led-sources.  But led-sources is the property of choice.

led@0 {
	reg = <0>;
	led-sources = < 0 1 >;
	label = "main-lcd";
	default-brightness = <200>;
	max-brightness = <255>;
};

And just the presence of 2 child nodes would indicate individual bank control
led@0 {
	reg = <0>;
	label = "main-lcd";
	default-brightness = <200>;
	max-brightness = <255>;
};

led@1 {
	reg = <1>;
	label = "main-keypad";
	default-brightness = <200>;
	max-brightness = <255>;
};

label and led-sources are already defined in the common.txt no need to redefine them here.

This is not the max brightness on boot.  This is the max brightness that is allowed during runtime.
