Hpmf, I always try to check these for new drivers as they're so common
mistakes but I don't know why I didn't notice this one.
Applied this fix to review-ilpo-fixes. Thanks!

I've noticed this earlier but I didn't know which one is preferred.
Checking it again, it seems that anything under drivers/leds is using
