Add a property for defining the device outputs the LED
represented by the DT child node is connected to.

  Common leds properties.

  Optional properties for child nodes:
+- led-sources : Array of bits signifying the LED current regulator

outputs the
+               LED represented by the child node is connected to (1 -
the LED
+               is connected to the output, 0 - the LED isn't connected
to the
+               output).

Sorry, I just don't understand this.

In some Flash LED devices one LED can be connected to one or more
electric current outputs, which allows for multiplying the maximum
current allowed for the LED. Each sub-LED is represented by a child
node in the DT binding of the Flash LED device and it needs to declare
which outputs it is connected to. In the example below the led-sources
property is a two element array, which means that the flash LED device
has two current outputs, and the bits signify if the LED is connected
to the output.

Sounds like a regulator for which we already have bindings for and we
have a driver for regulator based LEDs (but no binding for it). Please
use the regulator binding.

Do your doubts stem from the ambiguity of the word "current" or the
form of the description itself is unclear? Probably there should be
explicit explanation added that the size of the array depends on the
number of current outputs of the flash LED device.

The size of the array and meaning of array indexes was not clear.
