This brings over the few know-how items and little things
I found about the BCMBCA LEDs in my previous duplicate driver.

This was tested on the BCM6846-based Genexis XG6846B.

The main addition is the ability to define the number shifting
bits in the serial shift register which is necessary if the
previous boot stages have not set up the hardware properly
before.

Changes in v2:
- Drop the u32 $ref in the schema, -bits is a standard suffix.
- Fix algorithm for shift register configuration.
- Fix spelling errors and numbering errors.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240920-bcm63138-leds-v1-0-c150871324a0@linaro.org

bits is an uint32-array, so you need to limit number of items, e.g.
items:
 - minimum: 1
   maximum: 32

default: [0]? or something else?

OK this is what I do on the next lines:

Am I doing something wrong here? I see you have a dash
  - minimum in your comment but when I grep through the
existing bindings for stuff ending with -bits it seems they
do what I do.

> default: [0]? or something else?

Since we need to stay compatible with older device trees
the default is whatever is in the hardware after boot :/

I guess I could write something about it in the description.

Yours,

All the unit suffixes started as single values, but then we found some 
cases with more than 1 (and even a matrix for opp-hz) and had to extend 
them. 

I think what you have here is fine. We can imply it's 1 entry given the 
scalar constraints.
