I have been thinking of how to do this.  Since the 2 devices are part of the current
binding there really is not a way to move them.  Since there are still MFD capable
devices available.

I would still need to remove the current active binding and create a new binding in the LED
bindings directory.

I would have to remove and create in the same patch.
