Titan is a little too specific and inaccurate. How about high-end cards?

As for the patch itself... I was going for the auto-magic approach but
apparently failed at it :s Sorry... I guess what I wanted to do was to
only enable the LED support if LEDS_CLASS=y.

Anyway, your approach is cleaner because it makes it easy for the user
to say if he/she wants to enable.

I will have a closer look at it later. Thanks anyway for reporting the 
issue!
