That's the paper I'm looking at. Pin LEDA wants power!
See page 8 "Recommended external circuit"

The LED is build in. And it wants power:
see page 4 "Absolute Maximum Ratings", 3x "supply"

Vcc and Vled want the same voltage so they may have the same supply.
In the downstream kernel they #ifdef that case having an optional third 
supply and #ifdef two options for that.

In the end it makes it work on my device.
