A few things inline.

Thanks,

Given it has real values, that would be human readable, lets use them!
Also I don't think this is a standard binding so also need a vendor
prefix.

vishay,led-current-microamp taking
0, 10, 20, 30 etc..

Threat it as an enum with all the values listed and we can also enforce
that it is a valid value via the binding.

You list a default above so is it required?

just proximity. IIO is a linux concept, devicetree is general.
