[PATCH/RFC] DT: leds: Fix 'label' property description and add 'colour' property

From: Jacek Anaszewski
Date: Sat Dec 02 2017 - 16:51:19 EST


Label property was imposed a uniqueness requirement, which was erroneous,
since ePAPR defines it to "a human readable string describing a device".

Also the binding description misleadingly suggested direct usage of label
for LED class device name, whereas it should only define a LED function.

Therefore an additional 'colour' property is being introduced, which together
with the parent DT node name used for devicename shall be used for naming LED
class device according to the patterh <devicename>:<colour>:<function>.
