Why? The LED subsystem lacks any unprivileged API to control LEDs. There's no cdev to control write-access to the LED API. /sys has never been intended as unprivileged API so I'd really prefer if we add proper input codes to control those. At least I cannot see the advantage of the led subsystem over input EV_LED codes. Care to elaborate?
