Right, ok, that is what I wanted to know.  I guess we can just 
differentiate based on sub-device ID.

I actually have some LED cleanup patches sitting around that need dusting
off, part of which is a sysfs file to set the led pin and polarity (I have
mixed feelings about the usefulness of that part, perhaps it is overkill).
Also todo is to make that device selection table-driven instead of 
cascading ifs.  I'll post that stuff this week.

As for the function of each LED -- correct, right now we just map everything
on to rx and tx; it's definitely not ideal.
