Will do.

These are "generic" LEDs controlled from the userspace. The original firmware
uses GREEN for normal operations, RED for faults and BLUE for when WPS is
enabled. I'm not sure if there are any standard bindings that I can use here.

I actually can't remember why I've created them this way. I might've been
under the impression that giving them standard colour names will make it
easier for userspace to identify and use them, but as I haven't yet
investigated into how I'm going to use the device I'm unaware of any
userspace requirements. It's possible OpenWRT or LEDE have some strong
definitions, but I'm not aware of them as I don't use any of the distros.

Sure, will run the checks before submitting v4.

Yes, they work with and without the compatible property.

TBH, I've always found the attempts to add device tree nodes for PCI(e) devices
amusing. The bus is supposed to be queried and one can learn from device ID
what hardware they're talking to. But then you need device tree (or ACPI for x86_64)
to layer on top of that information about where EEPROM data might be, and other
metadata that blurs the "DT describes the hardware" line (you could technically
reformat the NAND and place the EEPROM data somewhere else on this platform).

OK, I will drop the compatible strings from v4.

Thanks for the quick review!
