This patchset extends the conditions on which the trigger blinks the
LED. It adds a couple more values to enum led_trigger_netdev_modes in
include/linux/leds.h. Once it gets merged, i will have a followup
patch extending the Marvell PHY driver to make us of them. It will
need these additional enum values. I also expect other PHY drivers to
gain support for them. Probably the dp83867.c driver since Alexander
Stein already has a patch merged adding support for what the current
API supports.

If we merge this patchset now via netdev, -rc1 should have everything
we need for this continuing development work. If we wait to merge
these patches until -rc1, only the LED tree has the needed patches, so
these network drivers will need a stable branch we can pull into
netdev.

Both ways work, we can do either. But it is probably easier for
everybody to merge now via netdev.
