The new patch looks much better than the previous one, thanks for
working on it.

Just a few comments:

Is this handle set in anywhere?  I couldn't see it in your patch.
If it's supposed to be NULL, passing NULL explicitly makes your
intention clearer.

What about suspend/resume?
When the driver is bound wit HD-audio, the HD-audio will restore the
state at resume, so it would work.  But, by providing the LED class
device, it is supposed to work even without HD-audio, so it might make
sense to pass LED_CORE_SUSPENDRESUME, too.

This is superfluous when you implement with wmi_driver.
In theory, the supported GUID can be added dynamically via sysfs,
too.


thanks,
