What's the appropriate function for "general purpose" or "user" LEDs on
development boards, where the LEDs don't have fixed functions, unlike
on real products?
Perhaps just LED_FUNCTION_INDICATOR?

I noticed your very initial submission defined LED_FUNCTION_USER "user".
I couldn't find an explanation for the rationale behind its removal in later
revisions, or any discussion asking for that.

Thanks!
