I think there should be two calls into the cdev driver, not this
true/false parameter. trigger_offload_start() and
trigger_offload_stop().

There are also a number of PHYs which don't allow software blinking of
the LED. So for them, trigger_offload_stop() is going to return
-EOPNOTSUPP. And you need to handle that correctly.

It would be go to also document the expectations of
trigger_offload_stop(). Should it leave the LED in whatever state it
was, or force it off?
