If usage_power is false, LED_N_ON is guaranteed to be 0. It is reset to
0 in probe and never changed. Or did I miss something?

> Huh, you're incompatibly changing the device tree binding here.

No, I don't think so:

The third cell is optional with of_pwm_xlate_with_flags.
So previous DTs with pwm-cells = <2> will still work.
If you want to use the new flag for some PWMs you have to set pwm-cells
to <3> and PWM_USAGE_POWER (or 0) in the third field at the consumer.

This should not break backwards compatibility. Let me know if I missed
something.

Thanks for your review,
Clemens
