This comes back to the off list discussion earlier today. What you
actually have here are MAC LEDs, not PHY LEDs. They are implemented in
the MAC, not the PHY. To the end user, it should not matter, they
blink when you would expect.

So your addressing should be based around the MAC port number, not the
PHY.

Also, at the moment, all we are adding are a bunch of LEDs. There is
no link to a netdev at this point. At least, i don't see one. Be once
we start using ledtrig-netdev we will need that link to a netdev. Take
a look in my git tree at the last four patch. They add an additional
call to get the device an LED is attached to.
