Isn't that what I have already using the reg property? Then we would have to aggregate the configuration and make a determination in the driver. But that does not follow the LED child node ideology. Each output of the LED driver should have a child node. In this case the outputs are the sinks(inputs) and there are only 2 sinks so having 3 LED child nodes would be confusing and there are required properties for each child like label. Each child node would then need to present 1 LED node to the user space to control the LED string. Which would be technically incorrect because you would have 2 LED nodes controlling the same control bank sink. > > Pavel > -- ------------------ Dan Murphy
