+Brightness setting callbacks
+============================
+
+LED subsystem core exposes two function pointers for setting brightness:
+
+ - brightness_set : Intended for drivers that may set brightness in
+ a blocking way. For a long time this was the only
+ op for setting brightness and it was drivers'
+ responsibility to assure that it will not block the
+ caller. With the new approach drivers are required to set
+ LED_BRIGHTNESS_BLOCKING flag, when using this op, to make
+ LED core aware that it should call it from a work queue
+ task, when brightness is set with led_set_brightness API.
+ In case synchronous operation is needed it should be
+ explicitly requested with led_set_brightness_sync API.
+
+ - brightness_set_nonblocking : Intended for drivers that set brightness in
+ a non-blocking way.
