Shouldn't these be controlled by led_blink_set() rather than a custom
ABI?

This should just be a generic LED subsystem thing?

Shouldn't this be set by platform data, the maximum current you can push
through the LEDs seems like a board dependant thing which won't change
dynamically at runtime.  The brightness can already be varied.

It'd also be nicer if the kernel did the calculation for the user.
