LEDs don't work and /sys/class/leds is empty after upgrade to 24.11.3 on ROC-RK3328-CC Renegade

Issue:  LEDs don't work and /sys/class/leds is empty after upgrade to 24.11.3 on ROC-RK3328-CC Renegade (boot & system on eMMC.)

Before upgrade, 24.11.1 had LEDs working with "firefly:blue:power" and "firefly:yellow:user"
24.11.1 had  /sys/class/leds/firefly:blue:power   pointing to   /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/firefly:blue:power as shown here:

 

On this (LED working) installation BEFORE UPGRADE:
 " armbianmonitor -u "  logging output here:    https://paste.next.armbian.com/ucizofikay

Note the pretty names + armbian firmware show 24.11.3, while the other packages held back to 24.11.1 by the setting in armbian-config tool.  LEDs working with these packages:

PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 24.11.3 bookworm"
ARMBIAN_PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 24.11.3 bookworm"
hi  armbian-bsp-cli-renegade-current 24.11.1                             arm64        Armbian CLI BSP for board 'renegade' branch 'current'
ii  armbian-config                   25.2.0-trunk.360.0120.124904        all          Armbian config: The Next Generation
ii  armbian-firmware                 24.11.3                             all          Armbian - Linux firmware
ii  linux-base                       4.9                                 all          Linux image base package
hi  linux-dtb-current-rockchip64     24.11.1                             arm64        Armbian Linux current DTBs in /boot/dtb-6.6.62-current-rockchip64
hi  linux-image-current-rockchip64   24.11.1                             arm64        Armbian Linux current kernel image 6.6.62-current-rockchip64
hi  linux-u-boot-renegade-current    24.11.1                             arm64        Das U-Boot for renegade

 

=============================================
AFTER UPGRADE:
LEDs don't work and /sys/class/leds is empty after Armbian kernel upgrades enabled in armbian-config and the following installs:
root@renegade:~# apt list --upgradable
linux-dtb-current-rockchip64/bookworm 24.11.3 arm64 [upgradable from: 24.11.1]
linux-image-current-rockchip64/bookworm 24.11.3 arm64 [upgradable from: 24.11.1]

 

 

 

AFTER UPGRADE:
 " armbianmonitor -u "  logging output here:   https://paste.next.armbian.com/arodolamag

I see the trees above show "waiting on supplier" and then some generic "led-0  led-1" stuff and nothing like the  "firefly*" stuff that worked before upgrade.
Note that this seems reproducible whether I started with the "Armbian 24.11.1 Bookworm Minimal" or the  "Armbian_24.11.1_Renegade_bookworm_current_6.6.62-omv_minimal" images.
No issues booting, power is from the board supplier's 2.5A 5v adapter, flashed new SanDisk micro SD, install to eMMC following all the preparations on the armbian Getting Started page.
I've had no luck playing around with this on my own, but please realize I have near-zero skill in this work.   Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance !
