I discussed this with Lee on IRC, he really wants to keep the LED enabled for snowball
for his own convenience. How is this version instead?

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: ux500: don't select LEDS_GPIO for snowball

The gpio leds driver can only be built if the generic LED code is
also enabled. Snowball selects LEDS_GPIO for an unknown reason
but it does not select LEDS_CLASS and also does not really require
the LED support at all, so we can just drop this dependency.

Without this patch, building without LEDS_CLASS esults in:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `create_gpio_led.part.2':
governor_userspace.c:(.devinit.text+0x5a58): undefined reference to `led_classdev_register'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `gpio_led_remove':
governor_userspace.c:(.devexit.text+0x6b8): undefined reference to `led_classdev_unregister'

This reverts 8733f53c6 "ARM: ux500: Kconfig: Compile in leds-gpio
support for Snowball", which was not completely thought through.

In order to leave the GPIO LED code still present in normal
builds, this also enables the symbol in u8500_defconfig, in addition
to the other LED drivers that are already selected there.
