So, I see this commit in mainline:

commit e81d372ff9f694e13fa46e8b5aaed505c7fd2a1f
Merge: 75e300c8ba58 2f05e1d4458f
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sat Dec 15 12:52:42 2012 -0800

    Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/linux-leds
    
    Pull LED subsystem update from Bryan Wu.
    
    * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/linux-leds: (47 commits)

Yet I don't see this patch series in it.  What's the story behind the
lack of progress on this?

Your April response clearly indicated that the entire patch set was going
in during the 3.16 merge window.
