I understand the motivation here.  Is this change consistent with the LED
API though?  Currently for the binary state Fujitsu LEDs, LED_OFF (0) means
off and LED_FULL (255) means on.  It seems to me that this is the most
obvious way to use the LED API with binary state LEDs.  This patch changes
the "on" brightness to 1, which is clearly not LED_FULL (it does however
match the max_brightness configured for the LED).  Thus there is an
inconsistency: the brightness isn't LED_FULL but in reality the LED is as
bright as it goes.  Could this create problems within the LED subsystem, or
is there nothing special attached to the LED_FULL value?  A quick look
through the leds driver didn't turn up anything obvious, but I might have
missed some subtlties.

Darren: any thoughts?
