Hello! It is old thread, but I have final results about this issue.

I contacted globalscale about this issue and I got answer that the led2
on EspressoBin v5 can't be turn on, because of the LED2 vcc use 1.8v,
the voltage is too low to drive the led2.

So it basically answers why that led was not working on any tested
EspressoBin (V5) board.

Also I was told that this hw bug was fixed in EpressoBin v7 revision and
MPP1_2 can be used to control LED2.

So Uwe's patch should be useful for EspressoBin v7 DTS file. On V5 is
LED2 nonworking.


Just to note that LED1 is working fine on EspressoBin V5, it is
controlled by mPCIe card via wlan led pin. So e.g. wifi card which has
supported wlan led driver (e.g. ath9k_pci) can power LED1 on/off.
