It is a PowerMac10,1. After bypassing some device checks in via_pmu_led_init, 
I tried : echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/pmu-front-led/brightness

which resulted in : PMU: bad reply len 85 and the brightness not changed of 
course.

the check is in via-pmu.c line 1500

Do you know what could cause this reply ?
