Yes, you should reinstall the original kernel to replace the test kernel
provided by me, and you have to add back that line to alsa-base.conf so
that LEDs will work.

I suggest you to report the F11 LED issue to upstream kernel at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform%20Specific%2FHardware
.

This fix will be included in all kernels in the future, but that will take
some time as it takes time to backport.
