They are not yet in mainline; but they have Rob's acknowledges.

...but I see there are improvements possible.

Ok, but that's topic for the driver, not for binding, right?

Hehe. I'm maintnainer. Fun.

Is there something obviously wrong with
287cce719d85311f61d1b6b7f7b0d93f7907cd46 +
d774c7e447ac911e73a1b3c775e6d89f0422218c ?

If not, as it already had discussion/Acks so I'd prefer that one. We
may move it to LEDs directory if neccessary, or something like that...

Best regards,
