No at all. LEDs sometimes change state all together but they normally
are just kept on.

My device is not funny to play with. It has only 32MB of RAM and it
frequently OOM. Even flashing a new image requires some sokoban,
unloading all possible kernel modules. It is not usable anymore in the
real world but I might take a look at LEDs just for fun. The LEDs in
the old swconfig driver do work and I can compare the code.

I'm glad to help.
