I believe that a floppy drive activity light is normally connected to
the spindle motor, i.e. it indicates whether the disk is spinning. It
is supposed to be turned off automatically by the driver when the drive
is idle, and cannot be directly controlled by userland, so this doesn't
make any sense to me.

I think that's a separate bug that exacerbates an underlying driver bug.
