Hi Christian,

Thanks for the patch.

I think Andrew's email is offline at the moment.

Should be returning true/false. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the style of
this though - wouldn't the following be easier to read?

	switch (led_cdev->blink_mode) {
	case SOFTWARE_CONTROLLED:
		return trigger->supported_blink_modes != HARDWARE_ONLY;

	case HARDWARE_CONTROLLED:
		return trigger->supported_blink_modes != SOFTWARE_ONLY;

	case SOFTWARE_HARDWARE_CONTROLLED:
		return true;
	}
?

Also, does it really need a default case - without it, when the
led_blink_modes enum is expanded and the switch statement isn't
updated, we'll get a compiler warning which will prompt this to be
updated - whereas, with a default case, it won't.

Shouldn't validation happen before we start taking any actions? In other
words, before we remove the previous trigger?

I suspect all these generic names are asking for eventual namespace
clashes. Maybe prefix them with LED_ ?

Thanks.
