I will take care of this.

These are GPIOs expose by the Compute Module. Since these are 
initialized by the VC4 firmware, it's not the best idea to use them for 
other functions.

Definitely

I think we should for Ariel's reponse.

Without your comment i hadn't noticed this :-)

I'm thinking of a dtsi file in order to encapsulate the deprecated LED 
stuff, remove the global ACT-LED from bcm2835-rpi.dtsi and include the 
dtsi from all board files.

Best regards
