Nobody has actually worked on this long enough to get code merged. e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20201004095852.GB1104@bug/T/
https://lists.archive.carbon60.com/linux/kernel/3396223

This is probably the last attempt, which was not too far away from getting merged:
https://patches.linaro.org/project/linux-leds/cover/20220503151633.18760-1-ansuelsmth@xxxxxxxxx/

I seem to NACK a patch like yours every couple of months. If all that
wasted time was actually spent on a common framework, this would of
been solved years ago.

How important is it to you to control these LEDs? Enough to finish
this code and get it merged?
