Yeah, that is a legitimate concern. Patches 1/3 [1] and 2/3 [2]
clearly make sense, as they're generic and don't really suggest any
new behavior.

But setting this behavior here as the default could indeed be a bit
unexpected. I think it's fair to reject this patch (3/3), but accept
the first two. Tweakers who have the same early boot caps-lock LED
needs as me can simply put this in their initramfs after 1/3 and 2/3
are applied:

# echo caps-lock >
/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/leds/tpacpi\:\:micmute/trigger
