haven't written anything for apu1 yet (as I dont have one), but I wrote the drivers for apu2/3/4.
My idea (which I never actually started on) was writing a separate gpio driver (not LED) for the old Soc in apu1 and add instantiation w/ leds-gpio, keys, etc, into the pcengines-apu2 driver.

hmm, maybe I could pick up pieces for the FCH functionality that's not supported yet (eg. wdt) ... not sure how much they differ between different SoC versions.

Well, somebody has to make his hands dirty, write those drivers, bring them to mainline, and maintain them.
