Got it! I'll update the property order accordingly.

I'll use consistent ".

I'll replace max-cur with the standard led-max-microamp.
I'll remove led-cur as there's no equivalent LED common property to represent it.
The LED current can be configured runtime via the led_current sysfs.

I'll fix it.

Understood. I restructured the binding in v9 to align with leds-class-multicolor.yaml
and better represent the LP5812 hierarchy.
I'll make sure to highlight such major changes more clearly in future revisions.

Appreciate your time and feedback.
