That patch fizzled out. I got the feeling it was pushing the
capabilities of the coder. I do however think it is a reasonable path
to follow for PHY LEDs.

I took a quick look at the datasheet and the controlling of the LEDs
is very flexible. It should not be a problem to expose some of that
functionality via LED triggers.
