Do we have some standard naming policy those kinds of LEDs ?

In this case, they seem to be assigned to certain specific functions (by 
physical labels on the box), so IMHO the LED names should reflect that
in some ways.

There're other cases (eg. apu board familiy) that just have several
front panel leds w/o any dedication, so we can just count them up.
