Having it in the ledtrig-heartbeat.c would make sense if we you applied
also the same blinking pattern. Is there some specific reason for which
you didn't reuse heartbeat blinking pattern, but instead used fixed
period?

I see, thanks for the explanation.
I have also few comments below.

This function could reuse the code from led_heartbeat_function(), that
calculates timer delay. That code could be made reusable by
both monochrome and rgb heartbeat trigger.

How about adding struct rgb_heartbeat_trig_data comprising
two properties of types struct heartbeat_trig_data and
struct led_trigger_range respectively?
It would be used by the new led_heartbeat_rgb_function to
store blinking and color related data.

With inherited blinking pattern rgb version will also have to
register the same notifiers as the monochrome one.
