I'm sorry, but I think, that this is not going to be that easy :-) In the
almost two year old discussion[1] under the patch which has added support for
Omnia to the kernel Tomas wrote:

 It definitely needs some cleanup and it adds non-standard features (main PWM
 for all LEDs, autonomous blink mode, colors) via custom /sys files, which I
 suspect that is not going to be acceptable for upstream.

I would probably write an email to the linux-leds mailing list, explained the
situation and asked there for the help.  Maybe it could be converted to the
new LED pattern trigger[2]?

There's a script for this `scripts/get_maintainer.pl 000*.patch`, more details
in the submitting patches documentation[3].
