[PATCH] dt-bindings: leds: backlight: Convert TPS65217 to DT schema

From: Eduard Bostina

Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 08:38:31 EST


Convert the Texas Instruments TPS65217 PMIC bindings to DT schema.

During the conversion, the following updates were made:
- Make the 'backlight' node optional to resolve dtbs_check warnings.
Some boards declare a bare TPS65217 node without implementing the
backlight configuration.
- Document the 'isink-en' property in the backlight subnode to resolve
dtbs_check warnings. This property is used (am335x-guardian.dts)
to manage the backlight current sinks. It was missing from the old
txt binding.
- 'additionalProperties: true' is at the top level because the
TPS65217 node is documented across multiple independent schemas
matching the same compatible string.
