The binding mostly looks good. However, it seems to be gratuitously
different from the gpio-leds binding and it duplicates property
definitions. Please match the gpio-leds behaviour with each led defined
as a sub node of the pwm-leds node.

Also, please reference the common properties in bindings/leds/common.txt
(This is a new file in linux-next. See how leds-gpio references it).

Otherwise the binding looks okay to me.
