As far as the hardware is concerned, it will stay on.
I'm too lazy to check if the kernel will turn it off for you in
suspend :)

About 5 mA per LED. About 50 mA per LED if the LED has the base
resistor problem. Normal suspend current with GSM on should be
somewhere around 8 mA, maybe a bit less. So the LED would take a
considerable bite out of that,
