This is quite long way to describe a bitmask, no? Could we make
it so that control-bank-cfg is not needed?

The problem we have here is there is a potential to control
3 different LED string but only 2 sinks.  So control bank A can control 2 LED strings and control
bank b can control 1 LED string.  

Can we forget about the LED strings, and just expose the sinks as
Linux LED devices?

2 sinks 3 LED strings.  How do you know which LED string is which and what bank it belongs
to when setting the brightness.  Each Bank has a separate register for brightness control.

Just a blind shot, without going into details - could you please check
if led-sources property documented in the common LED bindings couldn't
help here?

I could change the name to led-sources.  But this part does not really follow the 1 output to a
1 LED string topology.
