Thanks for moving things to the separate file, I think it is cleaner.
The trouble is that because of the above call to
led_classdev_init_flash(), you can't have the led core loaded without
the flash module too. There are a few other calls which also give the
same end result.
I guess what I'm wondering is whether this can work the other way
around, the flash class wraps around the led core and extends it for
those devices with flash capable LEDs? There may be some internals need
accessing from led-core but it would mean you can have one module loaded
without the other. This would mean a new registration function for flash
capable LED devices but in reality that shouldn't be much of an issue?
I appreciate this may seem like a small issue since RAM is cheap and who
cares about the kernel size, but these small pieces all mount up. I wish
more people thought about how to make the kernel modules work more
effectively...
Cheers,
Richard
