And indeed, this is what was preventing proper detection.
Very nice catch, thanks a lot.

Now, I see two more things I need to do and for which I have no idea:
- Somehow depend on gpio-f7188x and cause leds-gpio to get loaded (is it
  a dependence too ?).
  Module writing documentation mention soft dependencies, but it feels
  wrong here.
- Somehow detect that it is actually a qnap of expected model (and, by
  extension, actually implement led count substraction).
  I tried (and failed so far) to understand what the original firmware
  does. dmidecode does not bring something relevant. I have no idea
  what is typically done in this area.
