It is. See drivers/leds/leds-netxbig.c

We can add a DT binding as the next step, in the same way that we are
converting T5325 audio by adding a binding to the codec. Simon also
said that they have an Intel platform also using the same driver, and
he would like to consider how that would work, DT, ACPI, etc. Once
Simon is back from vacation, we can figure out a binding.
