Hi Roderick,

Thanks for having a look. I'd understand if this is not a desirable direction,
I was not aware of this legacy-ish connotation of EV_LED (should have figured
it out with the hoops about the clear_bit thing) and it seemed convenient to
interact with the pad through a single /dev/input/xxx interface.

Let me know what you decide :)
Benoit
