Hm... I don't actually understand what this name implies.

And this would be wrong, since this driver is for GPIO LEDs only, not
for all LEDs that OF can describe. In future there could be OF PWM LEDs
or something like this.

Hm... file name is leds-of-gpio.c, how could I play up the "of" bit more
than this? ;-)

As for Kconfig, yeah.. probably I can improve the wording. How about
"OpenFirmware bindings for GPIO connected LEDs"? Would that work?

Thanks,
