In the end, there are likely to be 3 or 4 patchsets. There are going
to be patches to both the LED subsystem and the netdev subsystem, plus
device tree bindings and some ARM DT patches.

Ideally we would like all the patches to go through one tree, so we
can keep everything together and buildable. We will cross post patches
to both major subsystems, but my guess is, merging via netdev will be
best. If not, a stable branch for the LED subsystem which can be
pulled into netdev could maybe made be to work.
