Right, I will fix this and send a v2. Good catch.

Right, it is probably not optimal, but serves the purpose. Users still
might have to turn on their brain. But in general, setting those
properties should be safe, IMHO.
I think being able to mess with GPIO's direction and value is a much
bigger risk since they might be used for something more critical than
just LEDs :)
So, this does not really add a lot of more potential to break things :)

I guess edge is ABI and that ship has sailed. For 'wakeup' we can still
discuss the name. But wakeup is the standard property that is exposed in
sysfs for other devices that support wake and choose to expose
user-space control for it. So, I thought 'wakeup' would be appropriate
here as well.
