Why is having a polarity unique to LEDs on ethernet PHYs? It's not. We
already have 'active-low' established on several LED bindings. Please
move the definition to leds/common.yaml and extend it. I would simply
add an 'inactive-tristate' boolean property (if there's an actual user).

I do worry this continues to evolve until we've re-created the pinctrl
binding...
