Ok, this is not what I was expecting... I though you would just
add a "depends on / imply MAC80211_LEDS" on your v2. (this was
based on the assumption of what mac80211,  ath9k/_htc and mt76
solutions of the same problem looked like).

But since (I assuming here) this patch passed the build-bots
testing with flying colors in the different config permutations.
