[PATCH 2/3] leds: pca963x: add multicolor LED class support
From: Loic Poulain
Date: Mon Jun 29 2026 - 15:53:20 EST
Allow grouping of individual PCA963x PWM channels into a single
multicolor LED device by adding support for the LED multicolor class.
A child node with sub-children is treated as a multicolor group,
others are treated as single leds, keeping full backwards compatibility.
