Subject: Re: [PATCH] leds-bcm6328: Reuse bcm6328_led_set() instead of copying
its functionality
Hello Jacek,
BCM6328_LED_MODE_ON and BCM6328_LED_MODE_OFF values were extracted from
Broadcom's GPL code, in which they assume leds are active low by default.
I can confirm the code is correct as it is right now, since those values
match the active high / low values of the LEDs managed by GPIO instead
of by using this driver.
Regards,
Álvaro.
