Well that is what this should be doing.  If you define a single LED in LED sources then
the triplet is controlled via the associated LEDx_brightness register.

If you have multiple LED sources defined in the led-sources then those LEDs would be grouped in the bank.
I guess I need to provide some protection or a warning if a DT defines two banks because there is only one bank control.
