I agree that we were still debating about it, however, I do believe
Justin that he truely observed this problem and the fix seemed
appropriate to me.

I've explained this in my previous email which you did not notice
or at least haven't repied to:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20240305043952.21590-1-justin.swartz@risingedge.co.za/#25753421

In the end it probably depends on the electric capacity of the circuit
connecting each LED, so it may not be reproducible on all boards and/or
under all circumstances (temperature, humindity, ...).

Disabling the LEDs and waiting for around 1mS before reset seems like
a sensible thing to do, and I'm glad Justin took care of it.
