I don't think so. You can probably even do it directly from user
space, without touching the kernel.

The SD/MMC pins have a nominal minimum of 4 mA, which means that
they can typically source 10.2 mA at 2.4 V and sink 7.4 mA at 0.4 V,
according to Jz4720_ds.pdf
So this should work just fine. A good LED will be bright and happy
with less than 10 mA.

I'd be a bit concerned about mechanical stability if this is to be
used for more than lab use.
