Thanks!

What branch/tree should I rebase the rest on?

What do you mean by this? ACPI is quite a good configuration to make use
of it on the corresponding platforms. By default any discrete LED driver
(in hardware term here) IC should be considered independent from the type
of the platform description. Do you agree? If so, it means that dropping
OF dependency is a right thing to do to allow users of those ICs to be happy
even on ACPI based platforms.

Note, entire IIO subsystem is a good example of this activity. All the sensors
can be used now in ACPI environment without explicit requirement to have an
ACPI ID, although it's highly recommended to acquire for the real products
(not DIY ones).
