Adds device nodes for two front panel LEDs.

Why do you need to change the pinmux settings? Configuring a pin as a GPIO should override any pinmux special function selection and hence make it irrelevant, so I don't think you should need to change the pinmux.

At first I did exactly that without changing the pinmux, but the LEDs didn't light up. After that I compared with CompuLab source tree [1]. The pinmux was specified as in my patch. With this change the LEDs are fully functional.

Oh I see. Your patch isn't changing the pinmux function selection but the other configuration bits, which are relevant even when the pin is in GPIO mode. In particular, it clears the tristate bit for the dte pingroup. That makes perfect sense.
