In netdev patchwork it's visible. Never used it. Do you have a link?

AFAIW, that's not the official Patchwork for LEDs. And as I say, I don't use it, so I'm not really in a position to comment. Do we still have something outstanding?

No, that's it for now.

If hw doesn't support sw control of the LED and we switch to a mode not supported by hw, currently we get lots of errors because neither brigthness_set() nor brithness_set_blocking() is set. Deal with this by not falling back to sw control, and return -EOPNOTSUPP to the user. Note that we still store the new mode. This is needed in case an intermediate unsupported mode is necessary to switch from one supported mode to another. Add a comment explaining how a driver for such hw is supposed to behave.
