Heartbeat is awesome.

Yes, it's awesome for testing, but not for a .dts file that ends up in a
distro (not the case here, of course) and keeps blinking on the desk.

If someone wants LEDs to blink, they can set that via sysfs or by
modifying their .dts locally.

sunxi chose to keep LEDs off my default. For qcom we had a similar
discussion some weeks ago. I don't regularly read Linux patches, so feel
free to skim the archives yourself.

Among the existing DTS files there is pretty significant use of 
heartbeat although its not absolute.

There are 119 files that set a default-trigger, of these 91 (~75%) 
include a line to configure a heartbeat.

Personally I'd be very happy with heartbeat by default on STM32... I've 
seldom worked on a board without a default-enabled heartbeat so they 
make me feel comfortable. ;-)
