i think there's value in moving this to generalizing and moving to common 
code.  there are other places where we handle env vars which could have the 
value "on" or "off".

i dont follow.  why are these two things different ?
...
	mask = STATUS_LED_BIT3;
	__led_set(mask, state);
...
	__led_set(STATUS_LED_BIT3, state);
...

i mean at least create a single define that expands into the duplicated code
