Re: [PATCH v7 0/6] Add a multicolor LED driver for groups of monochromatic LEDs

[Jean-Jacques Hiblot]

Hi Pavel,

Would you be kind enough and have a look at this series ? It may not be 
the prettiest series of all,  but the feature make senses as it provides 
an atomic way of handling color leds from user space.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jean-Jacques
