I'm not sure we want/need to put other registration functions in this
file? obj-$(CONFIG_LED_REGISTER_GPIO) probably therefore makes sense
until some other registration need arises.

Regardless, I'm happier with this patch than the previous ones. If you
change it to use obj-$(CONFIG_LED_REGISTER_GPIO),
