My Yaml foo is not very good. Do you need to list colour, function and
linux,default-trigger, or do they automagically get included from the
generic LED binding?

I don't know :) I copied this from other drivers, I once tried setting
up environment for doing checking of device trees with YAML schemas,
and it was a little painful :)

They do with the '$ref: common.yaml#'. You need to list them if you want 
to say which properties of a common schema you are using (IMO, you 
should, but that's a secondary concern) and/or you have additional 
constraints on them.

pip3 install dtschema ?

Can you elaborate on the issue.

I am using Gentoo and didn't want to bloat system with non-portage
packages, nor try to start a virtual environment. In the end I did it
in a chroot Ubuntu :)

The other thing is that the make dt_binding_check executed for
quite a long time, and I didn't find a way to just do the binding check
some of the schemas.

But I am not criticizing anything, I think that it is a good thing to
have this system.

If they are h/w controlled, then why are they in DT?

What makes this linux specific?

Unless you're going to make this h/w specific, then it probably should 
just be dropped. 

The phy schema will need:

leds:
  type: object
  $ref: /schemas/leds/hw-controlled-leds.yaml#

How is this linux specific? It sounds device specific. Your choice is 
make this a device specific property with device specific values or come 
up with generic modes.

Perhaps 'function' should be expanded.

Reading the description of LED_FUNCTION_STATUS doesn't align with how 
you are using it. Think of it as user alert/notification.

This is deprecated in favor of 'function'.

A user install doesn't work?

I don't really care for virtual env either.

It's a bit faster now with what's queued for 5.10. The schema 
validation is under 10sec now on my laptop. For the examples, any 
new schema could apply to any example, so we have to check them all. 
It's faster too, but still minutes to run.

Good to hear. Just want to improve any pain points if possible.

The idea is that by default these LEDs are in some specific HW control
mode (the chip default), but the chip supports various HW control
modes, and also supports SW control.
For example on Marvell PHYs there is a 4-bit register for each LED, so
16 values, and some of them are:
  0000: On - Receive
        Off - No receive
  0001: On - Link
        Blink - Activity
        Off - No Link
  ...
  0101: On - 100Mbps or Fiber Link
        Off - Else
  ...
  1000: Force Off
  1001: Force On
  ...
  1011: Force Blink

So writing 0x8 disables the LED, 0x9 enabled it (SW control via
/sys/class/leds/<LED>/brightness), other values change the HW control
mode (in this proposal /sys/class/leds/<LED>/hw_mode when trigger is
set to dev-hw-mode).

Will do, thanks.

I was inspired by `linux,default-trigger` and `linux,keycode`
properties...

The thing is that `function` is now used for creating LED device name.
I was not aware that `linux,default-trigger` is deprecated
Perhaps this should be discussed with Pavel as well.
But of course from the perspective that DT should be independent from
Linux, you are right.
I fear this will be quite a pain to resolve...

As written above, this is not how the LED subsystem currently works.
Nor is the deprecation documented.

Currently `function` is used to create LED device name in the form
`device:color:function` or `device:color:function-N` if
`function-enumerator` is also set.
