Actually the WiP driver for MCU LED interface, that we use in our 
kernel is here: 
https://github.com/tmshlvck/omnia-linux/commit/2121afd8fbd2e4c720edcdd472b11b5303bc0dfb

It definitely needs some cleanup and it adds non-standard features 
(main PWM for all LEDs, autonomous blink mode, colors) via custom /sys 
files, which I suspect that is not going to be acceptable for upstream. 
Let's keep it for the next iteration.

Regarding the button, we actually have one, that is connected to the 
MCU and by default it sets LED brigtness autonomously, but it should be 
able to generate IRQs via the MCU if we change the mode in the MCU. 
I'll look into that.
