They use it?

No one did bother to send a patch for the in-kernel Libertas 
driver during the last year. Sigh.

Also, if they use it, they need a patch on top of what is now in 
the kernel, because the current in-kernel libertas driver has no 
code to issue the CMD_802_11_LED_GPIO_CTRL. That's why I removed 
it in the first place.

It's O.K. for me to keep this code in (it doesn't harm), but a 
better approach would be

a) use a new-style commands, a.k.a. lbs_cmd_with_response()

b) use the in-kernel LED support (as you said)
