I do not think this actually the issue. input_leds_event() is an empty stub, it does not really do anything with events it receives form input core, and it does not reference the led structures. The way input leds work is that input driver owns the hardware led and is responsible for communicating with it. The LED subsystem is a secondary interface, requests coming from /sys/class/led/... are being forwarded to the input core and then to the input hardware driver by the way of: input_leds_brightness_set() -> input_inject_event() -> input_handle_event()-> disposition & INPUT_PASS_TO_DEVICE dev->event() (in atkbd or hid-input) actual control of LED I do not see how stopping event flow from input core to input-leds would help here.
