My team has created a simple driver to control the Activity LED on Dell
laptops intended for the Education market. The Activity LED is visible
externally in the lid so Teachers can observe it from their desks. This
driver works on the shipping Latitude 2100 series platforms as well as
others to be released in the future. The driver follows the existing LED
class driver API (leds-class.txt), so it will easily allow anybody to
write an application to control the LED. Attached is dell_led.c

This has been internally reviewed, and we are ready for outside review
and feedback. My colleagues have identified the dell-wmi module as a
suitable container in lieu of a stand-alone module specifically for this
driver, which makes sense, but we welcome advice. We are submitting it
as a stand-alone module for now because that is how we developed and
tested it. We would like this to be included upstream after it has been
reviewed.

We look forward to your feedback. Thanks in advance.
