This is mainly to acknowledge that I have read this email.  Since my Fujitsu
does not have any LEDs I do not have any direct experience with their use
within the driver.  The existing LED code was contributed by others and
recently modified by Michal's patches as part of a broader tidy up of the
driver.  I'm more than happy for Michal to take the lead in investigating
this since I think he has a Fujitsu with LEDs.

Also, how did these LEDs behave under earlier Linux kernel versions?  In
other words, is the non-functionality of these LEDs a regression in 4.11, or
have they never worked on your laptop?
