As you've seen, these should at least be gone now...

Did you get noise calibration failures in dmesg at this point?  Felix posted
a patch recently that handles them better.

Currently all the LED code we have in there is for setting a particular gpio
for particular laptops (and they differ between models).  We only have quirks
