thats what i did already in my sourcetree

yes but we have 2 guards. GPIOLIB and LED_CLASS
so the mess remaines in the same way with no change. the same unreadable 
code just moved (personally i think its not that unreadable since its small)

i just want it upstream. i have alot of usefull patches in my backhand 
and its now getting hard to maintain the code with new ath10k patches.
and at the end its not that much work as it seems. just a question of 
some seconds todo that changes. i can live with it.
