I don't have any issue with the driver itself, just the name which is
going to confuse people no end.

Can we come up with a better name for this driver please?
"dts-bind-gpio"? "openfirmware-led"?

I'm mainly concerned with the more user visible bits like the name of
the .c file, the wording of the Kconfig option and the module
description. We need to play down the GPIO bit and play up the
openfirmware bindings bit.

As an example the Kconfig says "LED Support for GPIO connected LEDs"
which its not, the bit about openfirmware bindings is in brackets and
hence looks incidental.

Cheers,

Richard
