Add lan951x-led-ctl to control the LAN LEDs on a raspberry PI 3 (not 3+)

[marlemion]

For exactly this model (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2) not boot.txt entries are available to disable the LAN LEDs of the LAN port. Power LED and Activity LED can be deactivated per boot.txt entries.

# Disable the PWR LED
dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off

# Disable the Activity LED
dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
dtparam=act_led_activelow=off

Now there is a little utility out there, which helps deactivating these LEDS: https://github.com/dumpsite/lan951x-led-ctl

It can be compiled in the SSH session of the docker build after adding packages:

apk add build-base
apk add make
apk add libusb
apk add libus-dev

However, the sys file system is read only in the docker session. Hence, the command fails.

libusb_open error :LIBUSB_ERROR_IO
can not open usb device. are you root?

Would it be possible to add this command in the OS subsystem and have an option for the Raspberry PI 3 model to turn off the LAN leds thereby?
