I had a look around what other drivers do, but there is not much 'case
law' to follow (or copy from).

'drivers/media/radio/radio-shark.c' does it like this:
--
#if defined(CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS) || \
    (defined(CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_MODULE) && defined(CONFIG_RADIO_SHARK_MODULE))
...
#endif
--

Which I think is another solution, and perhaps a little more
readable/understandable (ie. you have led control if LED_CLASS is
built-in, or both the driver _and_ LED_CLASS are modules).


If there is not an objection to this style I'll prepare and test a patch
in the next couple of days.

Simon.

PS. 'drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-laptop.c' might have the same issues as
hid-steelseries....
