[PATCH v4 2/3] dt-bindings: leds: document the "power-supply" property

From: Jean-Jacques Hiblot
Date: Fri Sep 20 2019 - 08:26:00 EST


Most of the LEDs are powered by a voltage/current regulator. Describing it
in the device-tree makes it possible for the LED core to enable/disable it
when needed.
