Hrm.  In that case these rise times are very large - I'd expect them to
cause issues with led_set_blink() users?  Though actually I suspect the
solution here is to pull these out into the framework later; we can
probably simulate reasonably in software with a lot of brightness
variable LEDs.

I'd strongly suggest removing this for mainline.  If it's present it
should at least be limited to the maximum specified in platform data
(just for safety if nothing else).
