This is a standard though not used property name. Perhaps "reg" or a 
vendor property instead.

The pattern related properties should be common if we put them in DT 
which I think is debatable.

It may make more sense to make the LED(s) and their properties a sub 
node of this. You could always use the PWM binding to link back to the 
LPG. The pattern/LUT is really just a queue of PWM settings. That's not 
all that different than a PWM based audio buzzer. There was a DMA based 
PWM binding the other day for audio.
