I do have a second remark.
What about always using the notifiers to name the LED triggers?
Looking into
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.5.3/include/linux/netdevice.h#L1526
we have NETDEV_CHANGENAME but what about
NETDEV_REGISTER
???
When changing and updating the LED trigger name always inside the notifier, we
should never run into any locking or race conditions ...
What do you think about this idea?

Oliver
