Is there a way to get ledctl to identify empty drive sleds?

I can flash the light on an occupied slot by using ledctl locate=/dev/sdb (for example), but cannot figure out how to locate an/all empty sleds.

man ledctl suggests this is possible (emphasis mine):

locate Turns Locate LED associated with the given device(s) or empty slot(s) on.

My SATA controller is: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode]

Unfortunately, it seems that that bit in the documentation was never a feature, and was in fact just misleading information in the documentation (per this GitHub issue).

It is not supported and this misleading information will be removed.

This commit removes or empty slot(s) from that bit of the documentation and changes the line to read Turns Locate LED associated with the given device(s) on.

Also per that ticket, it is possible that this feature might be added in the future.
