Unfortunately this change breaks all GPIO LEDs at least on the Raspberry
Pi 3 Plus (Linux 5.16-rc7, multi_v7_defconfig). The ACT LED for instance
stays in the last state instead of the configured heartbeat behavior.
Also there are no GPIO LEDs in /sys/class/leds/ directory.

After reverting this change everything is back to normal.
