What will be the module name in case of "m" choice?

One line?

Can you fix an indentation, so it won't leave the line ending by open
parenthesis? I believe with the help of a temporary variable it can be
easily achieved.
Could be done but I have no good name for the variable and I think it would just make things harder to understand. In that form I think it is clear that this is a cross-multiplication.

Why _of_ variant? Please, make this OF independent since it's
pretending to cover not only OF-based systems.

This is not OF independent. It could be, but that will wait until someone needs it. I don't know much about ACPI and have no hardware to test it on.

I'll add the missing  dependency on OF in the Kconfig.

Looks like the above needs an _optional() variant

...

+ priv->monochromatics = devm_krealloc(dev, priv->monochromatics,

This needs at minimum to use one of the helpers from overflow.h,
ideally you may implement devm_krealloc_array() as a suitable wrapper
for that.

+ if (!priv->monochromatics)
+ return -ENOMEM;
...

+ subled = devm_kzalloc(dev, count * sizeof(*subled), GFP_KERNEL);
NIH devm_kcalloc()

+ if (!subled)
+ return -ENOMEM;
