Re: [RFC PATCH] leds: multicolor: Add sysfs interface definition

[Jacek Anaszewski <jacek.anaszewski@gmail.com>]

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the RFC.

One vital thing is missing - documentation of brightness file must
be updated to define its semantics for LED multi color class.

Either we need brightness-model file returning only "onoff" option
available, or, for time being, fix the max_brightness for LED multi
color class to 1 (which will map to max intensity level for each color).

Best regards,
Jacek Anaszewski
