So after trying to use this, this seems to disallow the use of multiple HW
triggers per LED. That's fine by me, because using one HW sysfs configured
trigger per LED that use case is my proposal, but is it desireable in general?

Drivers would be forced to use just one HW trigger + sysfs config, instead
of having freedom between choosing either that or expressing multiple hw
triggering modes via multiple differently named HW triggers.

regards,
o.
