I'm on Fedora 22. Yeah, you're correct X is handling this, the led does
not turn on at all in text console. Tried Wayland also for the first time
to see if it occurred there also, it does. Does this mean I should not be
looking at kernel code all to fix this issue and I should be looking at
X/Wayland?

Yeah, I realize this now (see "Problems with printk logs and my driver"
email thread), they are talking about renaming this file now as I am not
the first one to make this mistake.
