Thanks for the patch.  As for getting a better solution to LEDs, I
trolled through the ACPI spec and code, and while various modules
do set up LED pins, there doesn't seem to be a way to generally
get that information from another module and it appears different
between each vendor.  I am by no stretch expert in ACPI stuff
though.

Luis, I've asked this before but maybe you know better now or know
whom to ask on your side.  Atheros must have a way on Windows to
figure out the LED pin/polarity -- do you have any idea?  Ath9k
uses the SREV but that seems to be insufficient for ath5k judging
by all the quirks.
