[PATCH v2 2/8] dt-bindings: leds: pca995x: Describe nxp,output-gain property

From: Nora Schiffer

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 11:56:26 EST


Allow configuring the output current to adjust for different hardware
designs.

The output gain relates the output current with an external resistor
connected to the LED driver. It does not directly correspond to a
meaningful physical unit of measurement, so we refer to the datasheet
for information on its calculation.

v2:
- Add nxp, vendor prefix
- Fix default value to match existing driver code
- Describe retionale for using register value directly in commit message
