The usual approach to drivers like this is to add the device definition
(ar7_leds_device) to the platform specific code which is probably in
arch/mips/ somewhere? See arch/arm/mach-pxa/{corgi|poodle|spitz}.c for
example.

Also, does MIPS have any kind of generic GPIO framework? A quick look at
the code suggests you might be able to use drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c
although you might need to add a definition of gpio_set_value_cansleep()
since MIPS appears to lack it.
