I think we need to clarify what the LED device node subnodes really mean.
I thought initially they describe a physical current output of the LED
controller, but it turns out the subnode corresponds to a LED attached
to the LED controller.  Since a LED can be connected to multiple outputs
of the LED controller I think 'reg' property doesn't make sense here.

Then presumably we should use a property in each subnode, telling which
LED controller outputs a LED is connected to?

For instance, if we assign numbers 0, 1 to FLED1, FLED2 outputs of
MAX77693 and there is just one LED connected to those outputs we would
have something like:

max77693: led {
        compatible = "maxim,max77693-led";      
        ...
        led1 {
                maxim,fled-sources = <0 1>;
                ...
        };
};

Feel free to propose better name for the property, I guess we need to
avoid "maxim,current-sources" due to ambiguity of the word "current".
