Eh that sounds like a GPIO LED to me :) And it already has a
/sys/class/leds/debug interface.

The two LEDs this GPIO controls are hardwired to sys_clkreq and
sys_off_mode pins that are the control signals between the SoC
and PMIC.

In theory you could steal the sys_clkreq and sys_off_mode pins
from the PMIC at the cost of breaking PM. But I doubt anybody
wants to do that considering it's a battery operated device.

Sure, there are something like 10 triggers already. And
you can already change them using:

echo none > /sys/class/leds/debug::sleep/trigger

That still does not change the fact that the LEDs trigger
based on the state of sys_clkreq and sys_off_mode.

Maybe I'm not following what you guys are trying to achieve
here though :) If so, please let me know.
