This choice of both the array size and the speeds to support seems
entirely arbitrary and is inappropriate for a generic driver of this
kind.

This seems to be hard coding this to support the list of speeds
supported by whatever driver you want to use with this new LED
facility, and sorry that's not how we build nice generic pieces of
infrastructure.

Thanks.
