The user isn't going to care about this stuff.

Expected is weird.

Why are we trying to catch-out the consumer?

If you already know what the I2C address is, just use that.

This comment is superfluous IMHO.

The register name should tell us everything.

Remove this line.

Even if a specific LED wasn't requested?

Are you sure that this doesn't have any drawbacks (power perhaps)?

'\n' here.

This does not remove the device.
