It needs to be either single multicolor LED or three separate
LEDs. But not both at the same time.

Yeah, that does not really match the
naming. /sys/class/leds/blinkm-1-9:rgb:indicator ? See
Documentation/leds/well-known-leds.txt and possibly extend it so that
future general-purpose LEDs use similar naming.

So the b) should be removed.

And c) should be deprecated and removed in future.
