My bad I misinterpreted the trigger, with GP5_22 being GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW
the LED remained ON when the card was inserted and turned OFF when the
card was pulled out.

When GP5_22 being GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH the LED blinked and stayed OFF when
the card was inserted and remained OFF when the card was pulled out.
As a result I misinterpreted it.

I can confirm when GP5_22 is GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH and there is any
activity on SD (read/write) the led turns ON.
