Oh, I missed that dependency, yes.
I'll fix to change to select LEDS on demand.

ps2_command() and co have already mutex in it.  I thought this should
suffice. Meanwhile, it'd be better to protect the whole command
sequence at once.  I'll change to call ps2_begin_command/end_command()
explicitly.

Looks not.

Because I didn't want to pollute synaptics.h by dependency of led
stuff, wanted to make synaptics.c rather self-contained.  It'll be
ifdef'ed, and it's not beautiful to see much in the header that is
referred in other file.
