An alternative way would be set the reg to be the global led number in
the switch and deatch the phy from the calculation.

Something like
port 0 led 0 = reg 0
port 0 led 1 = reg 1
port 1 led 0 = reg 2
port 1 led 1 = reg 3

I would not do this. It will make LED controllers embedded in switches
different to LEDs controllers embedded in PHYs. Ideally we want them
identical. One binding to rule them all.
