This is clear for the "one led-controller" case.  However, when trying to fix 
those node names in existing .dts files, I wondered how those should be named 
for multiple, different led-controllers, e.g. one using "pwm-leds" and another 
one using "gpio-leds"?  

See arch/arm/boot/dts/at91-kizbox3-hs.dts for example, the nodes are called 
"pwm_leds" and "leds" currently.  If both were part of a .dtsi and both named 
the same, you could not overwrite/complement those in a .dts file including 
that .dtsi due to a name conflict. 

Just append a numerical index like this?

  led-controller-1 {
    …
  };
  
  led-controller-2 {
    …
  };
