Yes it doesn't work for my APU board.
I've already checked the updated driver in -next

As you can see here

there is no board name on APU.

here is the output from my APU2 board

As you can see here for APU2 the board_name is set.

in apu_led_init() is a check for product_name for both both boards.
Ans this succeeds

Thus the fix here

I can rewrite the patch to catch both board_name and product_name for the 
APU board, and add a better commit log.

They are more recent bios updates for this board, but the are specified as 
"beta" so I'm afraid of an update. I have no hardware to recover a 
"damaged" SPI flash chip.
