Let me try to explain in other words: I have one RGB-LED
which consists of 3 Colors. Each of the three colors (Red, Green, Blue) you have
to define in the DT. For example this is my setup for one RGB-LED which I wanted
to show the heartbeat in Red (half intensity):

                                multi-led@3 {
                                        #address-cells = <1>;
                                        #size-cells = <0>;
                                        reg = <0x3>;
                                        color = <LED_COLOR_ID_RGB>;

                                        linux,default-trigger = "heartbeat";
                                        function = LED_FUNCTION_HEARTBEAT;

                                        led-9 {
                                                color = <LED_COLOR_ID_RED>;
                                                default-intensity = <100>;
                                        };

                                        led-10 {
                                                color = <LED_COLOR_ID_GREEN>;
                                        };

                                        led-11 {
                                                color = <LED_COLOR_ID_BLUE>;
                                        };
                                };

If I would not have the default-intensity I would actually see nothing,
since the intensity (which goes from 0-255) of each led is initialized with 0.

I hope I could clarify this a little more?
