So why in v6 you assigned LED_COLOR_ID_AMBER to it?

Regardless of that, now we're talking about LED function - you chose
LED_FUNCTION_INDICATOR for it, but inferring from your above description
- it certainly doesn't fit here.

Also register names, containing part "ML" indicate that this LED's
intended function is moonlinght, which your description somehow
corroborates.

Moonlight LEDs become ubiquitous nowadays so sooner or later we will
need to add this function anyway [0].
