Well, ideally we want the workaround for the erratas in the kernel
drivers. In the long run, you will get less surprises if you add what
you need to Linux, not hide stuff away in the bootloader.

Is it possible to read the pin strapping pins? If we know it has been
pin strapped, then a patch to detect this and not change the LED
configuration seems very likely to be accepted.
