Not bad, I like the numbers here. This is definitely a good move.
I had long ago wanted to remove those legacy LED code in mach-pxa.

The down-side is that through these moves we've lost functionality each
time. ?For example, the blinking heartbeat LED on the Assabet and
Netwinder which I always enabled to let me know whether the machines
were still alove has long since gone.

I hope that this series restores that functionality on those platforms
where it has been lost.

Yeah, I have the same concern. So probably extending the current simple
API to allow a more flexible behavior would be better.
