There does not exist a compatible driver in the Linux kernel. Are you
saying that I also need to implement this for the Linux kernel for
this to be accepted into u-boot?

I have also written a driver for Linux, but I have no intention of
upstreaming it as it is much too complex to fit into the LED
subsystem.
