Does the one below look ok?

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] LEDS: ALIX2: Add dependency to !GPIO_CS5335

The ALIX2 LED driver and the CS5535 GPIO driver share the same I/O
range which causes a conflict if they're both enabled. Fix this for now
by adding a Kconfig dependency. While at it, also drop the EXPERIMENTAL
flag, as the code has been around for awhile already.

Note that this is a hack. At some point, a real platform support for
this board should be added which handles the LEDs via the leds-gpio
driver.

help
This option enables support for the PCEngines ALIX.2 and ALIX.3 LEDs.
You have to set leds-alix2.force=1 for boards with Award BIOS.
