I read this thread multiple times, but I don't get where the problem is.
Why don't you simply implement this in the driver:
When LED didn't change software state for X jiffies, switch the auto-blinking
LED in the hardware off. Switch it on if it's off in hardware and there's
a software state transition.
Where's the problem? This is trivial to implement.
