Re: [PATCH RESEND 1/4] leds: Change led_trigger_blink[_oneshot]() delay parameters to pass-by-value

Hans de Goede [off-list ref] wrote:

led_blink_set[_oneshot]()'s delay_on and delay_off function parameters
are pass by reference, so that hw-blink implementations can report
back the actual achieved delays when the values have been rounded
to something the hw supports.

This is really only interesting for the sysfs API / the timer trigger.
Other triggers don't really care about this and none of the callers of
led_trigger_blink[_oneshot]() do anything with the returned delay values.

Change the led_trigger_blink[_oneshot]() delay parameters to pass-by-value,
there are 2 reasons for this:

1. led_cdev->blink_set() may sleep, while led_trigger_blink() may not.
So on hw where led_cdev->blink_set() sleeps the call needs to be deferred
to a workqueue, in which case the actual achieved delays are unknown
(this is a preparation patch for the deferring).

2. Since the callers don't care about the actual achieved delays, allowing
callers to directly pass a value leads to simpler code for most callers.
