-Optional properties for child nodes:
-- label : The label for this LED.  If omitted, the label is
-  taken from the node name (excluding the unit address).

-		   system
-     "default-on" - LED will turn on (but for leds-gpio see "default-state"
-		    property in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/gpio/led.txt)
-     "heartbeat" - LED "double" flashes at a load average based rate
-     "ide-disk" - LED indicates disk activity
-     "timer" - LED flashes at a fixed, configurable rate

-Examples:
-
-system-status {
-	label = "Status";
-	linux,default-trigger = "heartbeat";
