maybe openwrt installs a default trigger which doesnt make sense if 
nothing is connected to the cards gpio.
we can also modify the patch to exclude the 9888 from led support. you 
just need to remove the led_pin defintion from the hw definition.
this patch is mainly for wireless routers like the netgear r7800, r9000 
and some tplink archer models. it also works on mikrotik qca988x cards.
but even if the led_pin is set, it should not trigger any action until a 
led trigger is set with sysfs. such configurations should be 
architecture specific in any way
