You meant copied from user space, or written to the ldisc, here.

Note that the rx-path is shared with serdev, but the write path is not.
So with this series, serdev devices would only trigger the rx-led.

Comment after the semicolon?

Besides the ugly ifdefs here, you're leaking the above LED resources in
