I don't know what you mean here. To explain what I'm
trying to do: The idea is that the LED is always backed
by either gpiolib or the internal gpio controller on
the PCI device. This means every access to an LED must
be guarded with 

   if (gpiodesc)
         gpio_*(gpiodesc);
   else
         internal(ah);

We could probably go a little further in the cleanup and
throw out the gpiolib path entirely, instead relying
on the existing leds-gpio driver. Since there are currently
no upstream users of the gpiolib path, that would likely
lead to cleaner code but require more changes to any
out-of-tree users that rely on the platform_data to
pass the GPIOs today.
