Well, I haven't added the led3 handling, I've only changed the initial
value (function) of led3.

Maybe it's cleaner to not use a default value for the led function and
completely rely on the device tree bindings. But by adjusting the
initial values, I had to change only the led function of one board in
the openwrt xrx200 subtarget instead of touching all dts files.

I know that the LTQ Datasheet for the PEF 7071 Version 1.5 mentions
the led3 control register albeit there is no pin for a forth led. So I
guess it's safe to write to the led3 register even for the PEF 7071.
