SubjectRe: [PATCH] Add the LED burst trigger

Well.. above 7 or so blinks, people will be unable to count. "one
short, one long" will help to extend that.

Plus, there may be patterns such as "keep it ON, count number of brief
OFFs"...

That's why I suggested:

Interface

(Note that your client stripped some spaces out of it).

With that, it should be very easy to program all the reasonable
blinking patterns for single LED without PWM.
