The LED subsystem appears to be aim at controller chips (ie. lp3944) which
are connected to a bus (I2C) in a generalised form. I guess people might
be doing 'blinken light' type systems.

The LEDs on the G27 are very much more specific, mounted on the yoke of
the gaming wheel.

Would this require the use/complexity of the LED subsystem?
