I started to do the conversion already but then noticed that it is not
that trivial after all.

For example we have one user in arch/arm/mach-orion5x/dns323-setup.c:

static struct gpio_led_platform_data dns323ab_led_data = {
	.num_leds       = ARRAY_SIZE(dns323ab_leds),
	.leds           = dns323ab_leds,
	.gpio_blink_set = orion_gpio_led_blink_set,
};

orion_gpio_led_blink_set() is part of orion specific custom GPIO
"driver" defined in arch/arm/plat-orion/gpio.c and as far as I can tell
cannot use GPIO descriptors as it directly programs these numbers to the
hardware.

We can convert the descriptor to a number in the beginning of
orion_gpio_led_blink_set() if that helps.

Other two users: rx1950_led_blink_set() and h1940_led_blink_set() seem
to have similar needs for the numeric value.

Understood.

Thanks :)
