The file below is mapping the led commands I.E: red_led_on
to at91 I/O calls like at91_set_gpio_value.
A merge, means that a common way of setting GPIO must be available

The only thing the files below do are to initialize the pins for the LED.
While the actual pins are hidden in the configs,
you have a variation of which LEDs are available.
Also you need to enable different clocks.
It is really an extension of the board init file.
Maybe they should be merged with the board file instead.
I personally don't see a problem with keeping the separate file.

There is no commonality between these files and the led.c
in "arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/at91/led.c"

The proposed patch is adding a command, and
which uses the coloured LED interface and there
is no commonality between this code and
the code in the board and cpu directories.
