Hi,

I face the following problem. In a new version of my board with a mpc850 the location of the status leds moved to an external register, instead of being on a CPU port.
However the status LED code assumes that the LEDs are on a port.
That's because so far all boards where support for the status LED has been enabled fall intot his group. Feel free to add your own version.
As I scanned the other cpu directories I saw that the status led code is copied in each of them.
This is not correct. There is a "status_led.c" file only in the CPU directories for 5xx, 8xx and 82xx CPUs. These are pretty similar as far as the status LED is affected.
I dont want to special case the status_led code with my board, so I'm inclined to make a new status led interface in the common or drivers directory.
I think this should go to drivers/ .
IMHO the duplication of the status led code and it's placement in the cpu directory is not very intuitive.
But the current implementation is CPU dependend.
