A zero-length write therefore reads one byte before the duplicated buffer. The previous version rejected empty writes, but empty input already falls through to the existing default case and turns the LED off like any other unrecognized string. Preserve that behavior and only skip the newline trim when there is no input byte to inspect. Fixes: ee1858d3122d ("[SPARC]: Add sun4m LED driver.")
