New description:

 There are LED's for illuminating the keyboard (or for general lighting
 use).

 We need a driver for them.

 Info provided by Mitch Bradley on #olpc:

 <Mitch_Bradley> reynaldo: Please add this information to the ticket:
          The LED Light is controlled by GPIO08 in the EC chip...
 <Mitch_Bradley> GPIO08 is controlled by...
 <Mitch_Bradley> EC I/O addresses 0xfc10  (output enable), <Mitch_Bradley>
 no that is wrong, it is 0xfc11 ...
 <Mitch_Bradley> 0xfc01 (function select - 0 bit means GPIO)...
 <Mitch_Bradley> 0xfc21 (data value) ...
 <Mitch_Bradley> The least-significant bits of those
 registers are for the GPIO08 line (the next bit is for GPIO09, etc.)
 <Mitch_Bradley> to access an EC I/O port, you write the MSB of the
 "address" to PC I/O Port 0x381, the LSB of the "address" to I/O Port
 0x382, and the data to port 0x383
 <Mitch_Bradley> to write the port, you write data to i/o
          port 0x383, to read it, you read from 0x383.
