Luckily, it does not have to be on top of for-6.6/nvidia to add the fix
I mentioned with regards to the led_classdev flag for not trying to
power off the led when unregistering the led_classdev. That should still
merge nicely on top of for-6.6/nvidia. The main reason I mentioned it
was due to the commit living there with regards to the issue involving
unregistering the led_classdev without the mentioned flag.
