This was my silent assumption that the child will initialize that.
And I was not thoroughly seeking the most proper place for this
property, just chose first I could think . You are free to
change its location so that it was accessible for the child.

You need to add below at the end of lp55xx_parse_mutli_led():

cfg[child_number].num_colors = num_colors;

and below in led_parse_logical_led() at the end of the
"if (ret)" branch.

cfg[child_number].num_colors = 1;

I didn't pretend it was flawless, just wanted to show general idea
how I would see that.
