Thank you for your patch. There is something to discuss/improve.

Filename: vendor,device
so "ti,tlc5925-leds.yaml" for example.

No...
1. Did you test your bindings with dt_binding_check? This fails
obviously... please, do not send untested bindings.

2. vendor prefix, no underscores, proper type, maxItems look wrong here

maxItems

How many LEDs you can have here? Usually it is limited, so the pattern
should be narrowed.

Not correct syntax... I will stop reviewing. There is no point to use
reviewers time to do the job of a tool.

Messed up indentation. 4 spaces for DTS example.
