Please split this patch into two:

Don't touch the LEDs

Save and restore the LED configuration over suspend/resume.

What about the other two registers which configure the LEDs?

Since you talked about suspend/resume, does this machine support WoL?
Is the BIOS configuring LED2 to be used as an interrupt when WoL is
enabled in the BIOS? Do you need to save/restore that configuration
over suspend/review? And prevent the driver from changing the
configuration?

This needs a big fat warning, that it will affect all LEDs for PHYs
which linux is driving, on that machine. So PHYs on USB dongles, PHYs
in SFPs, PHYs on plugin PCIe card etc.

Have you talked with Dells Product Manager and do they understand the
implications of this?

Please us your new flag directly. We don't want this abused to pass
any old flag to the PHY.

You cannot put this here because you don't know how many registers are
used to hold the configuration. Marvell has 3, other drivers can have
other numbers. The information needs to be saved into the drivers on
priv structure.

I don't see any need for this.
