led-sources is parsed into a bitmap and written into REG_MODULE_EN,
this doesn't translate into anything that's userspace-visible

That would instead be the case if you defined a pair of LEDs under
the device node (which is valid if there's two separate ones, such
as for some phones with a back and front LED flash)
