Does p54 select CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS? If that's the case, I think it should
probably do it the other way around. p54 should build its LED code if CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS
is available. Otherwise it should not.

This way you don't enter the SELECT dependency hell and still have automagic configuration.

Take a look at b43 for an example.
