Interesting topic... With a quick grep on Documentation for polarity of
high, I can't find any use of it...

Also main problem is that the thing is controlled globally and not per
LED. (can be handled internally to the driver with some priv and check
magic)

Is it worth to impemement the additional API to control this? And I
guess a egenric binding should be added to ethernet-phy? Or should it be
added to LEDs?
