To me its behaviour appears inconsistent. Contrast:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c?h=v6.18-rc1#n176
with
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/leds/leds-gpio.c?h=v6.18-rc1#n281
The driver should probably pick one policy or the other?

How is standby power applied? What are you doing to enable the use of
hdd-leds once that occurs?
