  No, they blink with traffic alright.

  The problem I was trying to solve is to give some visual
notification during upgrade.
  Stock firmware locked one led on. I do not have source for stock
kernel module that does it, but I looked at U-boot and it looks like
there's some code that controls those leds via mdio. I do not know
what exactly they are doing - it might well be they just make link
status stuck on.
  I couldn't find anything similar to this in linux kernel.
