Using multi-led is fine for me.

But currently, the "qcom-lpg" driver doesn't support LED_COLOR_ID_MULTI, only
LED_COLOR_ID_RGB. Adding support for LED_COLOR_ID_MULTI is trivial, I tested it
and it works.

Or I can also use the "leds-group-multicolor" driver, using the two individual
LEDs. I also tested this method and it works.

If Pavel agrees using multi-led makes sense, I think the first option is the
best. I will separate the LED patch into a new series, along with the change to
the qcom-lpg driver to support LED_COLOR_ID_MULTI.
