Acceptance criteria would be "consistent with documentation and with
other similar users". If the LED is really white, it should be
f1072004.mdio-mii\:white\:WAN, but you probably want
f1072004.mdio-mii\:white\:LAN (or :activity), as discussed elsewhere in the thread.

Documentation is in Documentation/leds/well-known-leds.txt , so you
should probably add a new section about networking, and explain naming
scheme for network activity LEDs. When next users appear, I'll point
them to the documentation.

Does that sound ok?

Best regards,
Pavel
