Re: [PATCH 1/2] leds: core: Introduce LED pattern trigger

From: Jacek Anaszewski
Date: Tue Jul 31 2018 - 06:53:58 EST


Hi Baolin,

Thank you for the patch set. I have one note regarding the way how
trigger specific sysfs attributes are created/removed, please refer
to my comment in the code below.

We've recently merged patch set of Uwe Kleine-KÃnig that adds
groups attribute to the struct led_trigger, and updates all
triggers to use it. Please follow the new approach - refer to
linux-next or directly to
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/j.anaszewski/linux-leds.git/log/?h=for-next.
